America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 281 280. How crazy can a song make people go?

""National Treasure" is Disney's painstaking work. There is no doubt that it has created another climax of adventure movies after "Raiders of the Lost Ark." It is recommended that everyone go to the cinema to appreciate the style of Nicolas Cage."

"The wonderful thing about "National Treasure" is that it not only has exciting adventures, but also brain-burning and suspenseful decryption. I recommend everyone to watch it."

"As a commercial blockbuster, "National Treasure" is definitely qualified. It has all the elements that a commercial movie should have. It is suitable for couples and brothers to go to the cinema together."

""National Treasure" skillfully blends American history and adventure treasure hunting plots together. Joe Deterduba did an excellent job directing, Nicolas Cage once again showed his acting skills, and Diane Kruger gave full play to It has its own charm, a great movie!”

The competition below the big screen came to an end for the time being, and ended with MGM winning.

This time it not only removed MySpace, Facebook's only competitor, but also sent Harvey Weinstein to jail, and plunged Miramax into chaos, which is equivalent to cutting off an arm of Disney.

Although the process was tortuous, the result was gratifying. More importantly, Eric's emotional crisis was resolved, allowing him to focus more on opening a harem and building a career. He killed more birds with one stone than he can count.

The first release of this book provides you with a reading experience with no wrong chapters and no out-of-order chapters.

However, although the following competition is temporarily over, the competition on the big screen is still far away from a winner.

On the day "Frozen" premiered, Disney launched "National Treasure," which had been in preparation for more than a year.

One thing to say, the quality of this movie is indeed very good and it is a very qualified commercial blockbuster.

The movie cost $100 million, had an attractive cast, and the scenes were pretty good, so it received a lot of praise after it was released.

But I am proud enough to score 80 points in the exam, and it can be considered excellent.

But if your opponent scores 95 points, theoretically you both fall into the excellent category.

But in reality, people with a discerning eye can tell how big the gap is. No matter how powerful the film critics and the media are, they will never be able to match the audience's praise.

"Frozen" is undoubtedly the competitor at the same time that scored 95 points. Compared with the two, "National Treasure" will inevitably eclipse.

As a result, this situation was created. "National Treasure" had an advantage in terms of media and film critics' evaluations, but "Frozen" was overwhelming in terms of audience reputation.

This result is most intuitively reflected in the Rotten Tomatoes score.

"National Treasure" received 85% fresh tomatoes and 81% popcorn index, and its reputation from film critics was higher than its reputation from audiences.

"Frozen" received 68% of the fresh tomatoes and 97% of the popcorn index. It received a very bad reputation from film critics, but received a great reputation from the audience and passers-by.

What could this mean?

It can only mean that many film critics are not impartial. They all have their own positions and will tell lies against their will.

But it doesn't matter, the audience will tell them what it means to be unstoppable.

Why do you ask?

Everyone who walks out of the cinema will hum the three words involuntarily - let it go!

"I wanted to watch "National Treasure," but my 9-year-old daughter pulled me into the screening room of "Frozen." I couldn't help it. My child is the oldest."

"Carl insisted on dragging me and Ben to see "Frozen" because his little girlfriend had already seen it and posted photos on Facebook. If I didn't go with Carl, he wouldn't be able to chat with them. ”

"I took my two children to see "Frozen". Although the movie was a bit boring at the beginning, I must praise it. When Elsa sang that song, I opened my mouth in surprise and kept it that way. For three minutes, you must know that I am a middle-aged man who is almost forty years old.”

"I recommend that all parents take their children to see Frozen. It's definitely worth the ticket price. Don't let your children blame you in the future."

"Frozen is great! I thought it was just a boring script, but the movie gave me so many surprises. When I saw that the screenwriter was Eric Cooper, I suddenly realized that he really deserves to be the youngest person in history. The title of best screenwriter.”

"Trivia, the song "let it go" was also written by Eric Cooper. This song completely sublimated the entire movie. Compared to the movie, maybe Eric Cooper should sing more ”

"Obviously, 'Frozen' is not the old story of a prince and a princess defeating evil. MGM has given it a whole new meaning. The core of the film is to express yourself, accept yourself, and embrace yourself."

"I have to be honest. I really don't recommend watching "Frozen." The screenwriter Eric Cooper included too many personal things in it. The relationship between the two princesses is a little unclear, and the lines are so stupid that they shouldn't be. This situation will lead to bad value guidance for children.”

"The Olsen sisters played a couple in Adele, and they voiced Elsa and Anna, plus those weird lines, I had to question Eric Cooper's intentions. Do you want to poison the next generation of America?”

"Shocking! The truth about Nanyu King's prince's fraudulent marriage was revealed, and the scandal of same-sex incest among the royal twins of Allendale was revealed."

"Hey! People with dirty hearts see everything dirty. Don't you say I love you to your family? Disgusting!"

"Anyway, my child loves Elsa so much that she even imagines herself as Elsa when she sleeps. I have to take her to watch it for the second time."

"Help, when will Lionheart.com release Frozen? My child keeps pestering me to watch it again."

"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy! Can MGM release the soundtrack of "Let it Go"? I want to hear it so badly, I'll buy it no matter how much it costs!"

"Let it go! Let it go! Can't hold it back anymore!"

"Let it go! Let it go! Turn away and slam the door!"

"MGM's latest masterpiece "Frozen" was released, setting a record in the first three days of the weekend, and it took in 156 million US dollars!"

"Disney's new work "National Treasure" was favored by the audience, and Nicolas Cage performed well, earning 39 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend!"

No matter how much debate there is, no matter how powerful the public relations is, the box office will ultimately speak.

When the first weekend box office came out, any controversy had to give way to the queen.

What does a box office of $156 million mean?

It broke the record of 124 million set by "Transformers" last year, and also kicked the record of 119 million dollars set by "Spider-Man" to the third place.

No matter what kind of Autobot you are, no matter what kind of superhero you are, it doesn't work.

Elsa's popularity has reached its peak, and her frost magic can destroy anyone or anything that stands in her way.

Her lost crown flew back to her head, and the throne also shone brightly under the brilliant data.

This is the power of G-rated movies, with no restrictions for all ages.

Why does Disney always like to play family fun? Isn't it just to get money out of children's pockets? One child at least drives one adult, and more often drives a family to buy several tickets.

MGM also released a celebration poster, with a photo of Elsa and Anna on the cover, with a big 1.56.

Originally, this could only be regarded as a routine celebration at most, but netizens are the ones who know how to stir up trouble.

Soon, the poster images were moved to Disney's official website, and then the comment area was flooded.

This behavior is full of irony. You know, even a fool can see that "Frozen" follows the Disney song and dance style, but it goes beyond the traditional framework of justice and evil.

It's like I used your things to make my own work, and then I turned around and pressed you to the ground and rubbed you. How do you feel?

I guess you must be like a bereaved parent.

The time came to Monday, the day when school started, and then the shocking scene appeared.

Kindergartens and elementary schools across the United States rang out songs, and children spontaneously hummed "Let it Go".

Although they could only sing a few words, it did not hinder their enthusiasm, and the game of playing house began.

"I am Princess Elsa!"

"No, I am Princess Elsa!"

"You are the bad guy Hans."

"No, I want to be Christopher."

"Look at my ice magic!"

And this situation is not only happening in the United States, kindergartens and elementary schools in Europe, Australia, and South America have also fallen.

Even in Asia, where people are not too keen on singing and dancing, many children have been infected.

Eric had expected this situation, but Celine Dion was shocked.

I thought it would be popular, but I didn't expect it to be so popular!

It's like a raging fire that can't be extinguished.

Even if you put on the cape of Boruto, it can't be extinguished.

Her Facebook fans soared by millions, and she posted a very proud update.

"Oh, I'm so busy these days. My relatives' children always ask me to sing for them. My voice is almost broken."

The comments below are naturally all envious. At the same time, they left a message and called MGM, asking them to release the soundtrack as soon as possible. Eric was also happy to follow public opinion.

Then the situation developed and evolved to an increasingly exaggerated level.

Not only did kindergartens and schools across the United States sing "Let it Go" crazily, but even major shopping malls, barber shops, supermarkets, bars, and restaurants all sang the same melody.

The MV of "Let it Go" on YouTube directly topped the list within one day, and countless music masters imitated the singing style.

In Times Square, no one knew who was requesting songs, or if everyone was requesting songs in turn, but the screen projection never stopped, and it almost became an Elsa special show.

In particular, a YouTuber had a flash of inspiration, and took advantage of the break in the kindergarten to run over and howl.

"Let it go! Let it go!"

Instantly, the kindergarten was like a pot of boiling water, and all the children followed up: "Can't hold it back anymore!"

After he uploaded the video, the likes and reposts exploded, and then a large number of grandmas followed up.

The school, restaurant, road, and gymnasium launched a big test of singing along.

Everyone karaoke, everyone chased after, and it seemed that everyone in the United States fell into Elsa's madness in just a few days.

Supported by this popularity, in less than three days, "Let it go" won the championship throne, and all the hit songs of new and old singers were defeated.

You should know that the last time Celine Dion appeared at the top of the B chart was six years ago.

While the song was a big hit and the box office was flowing into his pocket, Eric had Double Star Entertainment produce a large number of "Frozen" peripherals in advance.

These peripherals were put on the shelves of North America, Europe and China on the same day as the movie.

Even South America, Australia, Asia and other countries that did not have sales channels sent orders.

The goods in the warehouse went directly to the port and trucks and were shipped all over the world.

Then, as expected, it ushered in a sales boom. After watching the movie, the children saw Elsa's clothes and Olaf dolls when they passed by the store and couldn't walk immediately, and pestered their parents to buy them.

What! You won't buy it?

Then use the secret technique that is universal in the world, rolling and crying.

Not many parents can withstand this trick, and they all give in in the end.

"Hahaha congratulations on the box office success of "Frozen", which is almost 80 million RMB."

On the phone, Lao Han congratulated Eric.

"80 million RMB in 6 days, not bad numbers, thanks to Mr. Han for scheduling the film."

"Everyone makes money, it's mainly because your film is well made that the audience is willing to buy it. I estimate that it's hard to say whether the final box office of "Frozen" will surpass "Transformers", but it should surpass "Heroes."

"I will be satisfied if it can break 200 million, after all, the main audience is children, and the mainland doesn't seem to pay much attention to family movies."

"Indeed, the audience group has not been cultivated yet. Instead of spending dozens of dollars to take their children to the cinema, more parents are willing to take them to McDonald's for a meal."

"But now The mainland market is developing rapidly, especially last year's "Transformers" brought about a viewing craze. In half a year, more than 500 cinemas were added nationwide, reaching the annual growth rate of the previous few years. "

"In addition, the ratings of "Supernatural" are also very good, especially young audiences like this kind of tune. "

"Then should we add a few more?"

"Add, we must add, "Peppa Pig" and "House of Cards" are very good, and there are several other companies. In addition to TV series, someone asked me to be a middleman. "

"Who? You are so big that you are asking me to be a middleman?" Eric asked curiously.

"CCTV has taken a fancy to the music format of The Voice of America and wants to buy the copyright to make The Voice of China. They just hope you can give them a discount on the price."

"Haha. I thought it was a big deal. If you, Old Han, come forward, everything will be fine. When I promote my new movie in the future, ask CCTV to give me more interviews and publicity."

"No problem!"

"Also send me a few boxes of wine. I've been consuming a lot recently."

Old Han laughed a way that all men understand. After agreeing, he gave a few words of advice: "Brother, your health is the most important thing! Even though you are young and can handle it now, it is difficult to make up for the loss. Be moderate, be moderate."

"When you are young, you don't know the value of gold. When you are old, you cry over nothing, right?"

"Insightful! Insightful!"

On June 18, Frozen grossed $157 million in North America and $371 million worldwide in seven days, breaking the record held by Transformers.

On the other hand, "National Treasure" had a seven-day North American box office of $64 million. It was not released in multiple countries at the same time, so its data was actually not low. However, the comparison was too tragic, and Disney lost miserably!

The next to join the battlefield was Universal's "Jason Bourne 2", Jason Bourne VS Princess Elsa.
