As early as July 10th, the third and final wave of the final version of "Speed of Life and Death" trailer was released.

The scene where the entire subway car derailed and flew up, crushed everything, and rushed directly onto the highway stunned all the concerned audiences.

No way!

It's a lot of fun!

Thinking of the previous bus speeding and crashing into a plane, the audience was already very interested in "Life and Death", and now they feel that if they don't watch it when it is released, they are really sorry for the many promotional films they watched during this time.

In particular, Fei Xiang, a Chinese-American mixed-race man with the "Great Split", such a cool and handsome man, how he behaves in the movie is the most concerned thing for a group of young people aged 13-24.

Ordinary movie fans, maybe they don't have much of a sense of difference between "Superman 2" and "Speed of Life and Death", maybe they will watch both.

But they don't know that in Hollywood and in the film industry, these two films have become popular, causing countless people to watch eagerly.

In the past two months, "Superman 2" and "Speed of Life and Death" have been competing all the way, and you are chasing me, and you are not relaxed everywhere.

Originally, the publicity fund of "Superman 2" was only about 5 million US dollars, but it was forced by "Life and Death" to immediately exceed 15 million US dollars, an increase of 10 million!

"Speed of Life and Death" is even more wealthy, and 40 million US dollars were invested in one go, and the whole world knows that there is such a movie.

Moreover, "Speed of Life and Death" has a good director and a good boss, and Yin Jun directly made a "great split" for Mercedes-Benz, which not only earned back $10 million in publicity funds, but also directly made Fei Xiang, the actor of "Speed of Life and Death", the most well-known star in the world, and further made a good advertisement worth more than $20 million for "Speed of Life and Death".

The two of them are not only competing in advertising, but also in the number of cinemas and screens, and there is a battle between the open and the dark.

"Superman 2" has the support of the six Hollywood giants, and as of the release date of July 17, there are more than 2,700 theaters and 4,049 screens, second only to the 4,700 screens of "." released in June.

"Speed of Life and Death" is not inferior, under the hard work of Disney and United Arts Films, and under the hard work of Lei Shidong, the emerging theater upstart on the East Coast, they actually got 1820 movie theaters, a total of 3220 screens.

If it weren't for "Superman 2" to stabilize it, "Life and Death" would be the second-most screen-screen movie ever released in North America.

And this is definitely not allowed by other Hollywood giants, so the number of screens of "Superman 2", in the last half month, has risen to more than 4,000 as if it were chicken blood.

After spending a lot of money and having a consulting firm do some research, the two companies found that the expectations of North American audiences were almost the same.

More than 43% of young people under the age of 20 are ready to watch "Life and Death" for the first time, and 40% are ready to watch "Superman 2".

For people between the ages of 20 and 30, more than 57% are ready to watch "Superman 2", and 29% are ready to watch "Speed of Life and Death".

Moviegoers aged 30-50 also support "Superman 2", and more than 38% of them are ready to watch it, while "Speed of Life and Death" is only 18%.

According to the results of the survey, the box office performance of "Superman 2" should exceed $33 million in the first weekend, and the box office performance of "Life and Death" will come to around $20 million.

However, the results of such a survey did not satisfy the two companies.

The production cost of Kirin Group exceeded 25 million US dollars, plus the global publicity cost of 40 million, the total cost has reached a staggering 65 million US dollars, if the box office in North America does not exceed 100 million, it will be a bit difficult for their overall profit to recover.

And the box office in the first weekend is not strong, so Europe and South America, which will be released in a week, will definitely not be able to get more screens.

As for the Asian market, which was released at the same time, it has never been the focus of the box office, even if it is a big hit on their side, the box office share can exceed 20 million US dollars, which is absolutely lucky.

Superman 2 is a little less worried.

With the successful experience of "Superman", the cultivated audience of "Superman" comics for decades, plus more than 4,000 screens to help, and a North American box office of 100 million US dollars, it should be guaranteed.

However, if it weren't for "Life and Death", their box office in North America would have increased by at least $30 million! Maybe $50 million is possible!

Nowadays, the expectations of the two movies are very high, so it naturally has the effect of diversion.

Even some fans want to watch both movies, but the problem of purse is also something that many people will consider.

Don't look at a movie ticket for more than a dozen yuan, the ticket is not expensive, but there are so many people who will only choose to watch one movie at one stage and will not watch the second one.

Warner's president, George Harding, regretted it a long time ago, how could he jump out in the first place to fight Disney and United Arts Pictures for Paramount?

Whoever wants to do this kind of thing will let whoever is willing to do it, why should I use my trump card movie to fight against others?

This is a great thing, and I can't say that both sides will lose, but it is absolutely impossible for me to please myself.

And in the future, Yin Jun will have to remember his hatred and work hard with himself.

Obviously, I don't have any enmity with him, okay?

It's so depressing!

……

It doesn't matter what George Harding thinks, and it doesn't matter what the people in the Kirin Group think.

Anyway, time passed day by day, and finally the day of the showdown came.

On July 17th, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the first stop of "Speed of Life and Death" officially began to be released in nine countries and regions: Xiangjiang, Baodao, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan and South Korea.

Of course, it's 8 p.m. in Japan and South Korea.

A very grand premiere was held here in Xiangjiang, and outside the Li stage, Yin Jun took Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia to stand in the most conspicuous position, greeting the guests who came to cheer.

Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia have no roles in "Speed of Life and Death", but they are still dressed like flowers, radiant.

Because Yin Jun personally came to take charge, Li Chaoren, who doesn't like to watch movies on weekdays, came with his wife and two sons in person; Bao Yugang was old and didn't come, but Wu Guangzhen came; Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Guo Laoda, and Chen Youhan...... and other rich and powerful tycoons in the financial world, all of whom came with their families.

They are here, what bigwigs in the film industry, except for Shao Yifu, who has face and style, the rest of Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and others can't surround them at all.

Not to mention a group of "little characters" such as Wu Siyuan, Hong Jinbao, and Mai Jia, they can only stand farther away and envy.

Fei Xiang followed Zhong Chuhong, greeting and talking with a group of actors in the film and television industry with a smile.

In fact, Fei Xiang was not at ease at this time.

Because Zhong Chuhong beside him has always had a little resentment in his eyes.

Fei Xiang naturally knew why, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of provoking the eldest lady to rush to the stage and stand with Guan Zhilin.

At that time, it was really scary, and Jun Shao had to skin himself.

Fei Xiang is actually very simple, although he has such and such small shortcomings, he is not bad-hearted, and he knows how to be grateful.

Don't look at the people who come to him to shoot advertisements waving checks now, there are at least dozens of them, and many of them are foreign manufacturers.

But just because Yin Jun said, "You are an actor, you have to rely on your works to improve yourself, not an advertisement that can represent you", so Fei Xiang now ignores those advertisements that can make him a millionaire in an instant, but concentrates on recording and practicing his own songs.

The company has prepared this album for him for a long time, and once the effect of "Life and Death" is good, Kirin Records will release his album immediately.

There are two songs made for him by Yin Jun.

One song is called "Hometown Clouds".

Another song that will be more familiar to the audience later is called "A Fire in Winter".

is also lucky, when Fei Xiang came to Xiangjiang at the beginning of this year, Yin Jun remembered this song, it was first sung in 1982, if it has been made now, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, in February and March, Deng Lijun came to Xiangjiang, and Mr. Zhuang Nu, the lyricist of "A Fire in Winter", was one of Deng Lijun's Bole and wrote a lot of songs for her, and the two were very familiar with each other.

Yin Jun asked Deng Lijun to ask Zhuang Nu if she had heard the title of the song "A Fire in Winter".

Zhuang Nu said no.

That no is nothing.

Yin Jun hurriedly wrote the lyrics and songs, and asked the queen sister to sing it to Zhuang Nu, and he laughed when he heard it, saying that this song is not suitable for you as a girl.

So, this song fell on Fei Xiang's head as a matter of course.

With these two songs as the foundation, Fei Xiang's album is not far behind.

Leave this matter out of the way.

Fei Xiang and Zhong Chuhong chatted with everyone for a while, and seeing that when the time came to start, Yin Jun and the others had already entered, so they invited everyone to hurry up and take a seat together.

Today's celebrities, big and small, can't sit in a good position, and those rich people and their families naturally occupy the best seats.

But thinking that I can sit in the same theater and watch movies together with these famous super-rich people like Xiangjiang, the stars are actually quite proud.

The reporters present today can be described as a feast for their eyes, the cameras and cameras in their hands are also the city of Great Carrier, and I don't know how many precious photos and video materials have been taken.

They had never seen the opening of a movie in Xiangjiang so lively.

Regardless of whether this means that Xiangjiang's movies are about to start going to the world, anyway, at least Yin Jun's movie, the degree of guests coming to congratulate should be unprecedented, right?
