Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 201 Global Release

August 18th is an important day for Zhou Yuanqiang, because after two months of publicity, the game he provided was finally released one week after the completion of "Resident Evil 4", that is,

August 18th.

Many people are just curious about the sudden appearance of "The Storm". They are curious about how this big-budget film could be so well-hidden. No news was released until the filming was completed.

Revealed. Especially the mysterious cast, mysterious director, mysterious investment company, etc...

This curiosity and the mystery of the film are exactly what Warner Bros. needs. As long as you are curious, they will find a way to get you into the theater.

However, the most depressing people in the world are probably the individuals and companies related to Resident Evil 4. From the trailer, you can know that the scenes in this "Apocalyptic Storm" are simply not comparable to Resident Evil 4.

Moreover, Warner Bros.'s promotion was even more wild, which directly ignited this biochemical craze.

When Paul Anderson answered a reporter, he said: ""The Last Storm" is undoubtedly a very good work. It is undeniable that it is outstanding in terms of scenes and props and special effects. But in terms of plot, it cannot be compared with "The Last Storm".

Compared with us. We have been working hard. After the successful advance shooting, we originally planned to release it as soon as possible on August 27 to give the majority of movie fans a surprise. However, looking at it now, the time has to be consistent with what the official said, scheduled for September.

No. 10."

Regarding the question raised by reporters, whether it is because they are afraid of the limelight of "Armageddon", Anderson said: "Of course not. After all, the competition between the two movies will make everyone compare. Why should we be afraid? The reason for the delay is nothing more than

I suddenly discovered that there is still a little bit that needs to be changed in the film. I think I will make it more perfect by then."

Hollywood film critics have expressed their opinions one after another, but the movie has not yet been officially released, so they all maintain a cautious attitude.

It is very difficult to obtain approval for films like this in China. Therefore, the so-called global release only refers to most countries, and of course does not include the country.

Zhou Yuanqiang has watched the movie several times and is very confident in it. Otherwise, Warner Bros., a distribution giant, would not have signed such a contract. And they have invested huge sums of money in promotion, and they must have seen the value in it.

.

Zhou Yuanqiang had no way of seeing the grand occasion of the screening. He was already preparing to leave his hometown and return to City S. Mainly because he could not stay here for too long. The construction of the building would take at least half a year to be completed.

It's of no use at home.

Zhou Yuanqiang also has a plan for the placement of his parents and little sister, which is to take them to S. For this building, in Zhou Yuanyo's heart, it is more of a mark. He may only come back every year during the Chinese New Year.

To live there for a while. Therefore, Zhou Yuanqiang asked Li Yihan to help him find a villa near the seaside, where he planned to buy one so that his parents and little sister, who had never seen the sea in their lives, could enjoy the sea view of City S.

It is impossible to calculate the box office on the first day of global release, so the real calculation is the box office in North America.

On the first day of its release, the box office revenue of "Armageddon" reached 9.5 million U.S. dollars, a very crazy figure. On the second day, it reached 10.7 million U.S. dollars, and on the third day, it reached 11.2 million U.S. dollars. Finally, in the first week of its release,

The total box office in North America reached 80 million US dollars. An extremely crazy number.

Stimulated by this, it reached 110 million US dollars in the second week and 130 million US dollars in the third week.

The box office hit 300 million US dollars in three weeks, which is undoubtedly an exciting and dreamy start. Even when Mel called, he was already incoherent and said: "Zhou, God, you know? We create

According to history, this is the box office in just three weeks. According to my experience, our global box office is at least 1.5 billion US dollars."

Zhou Yuanqiang's heart was also racing. After deducting the 35% paid to Warner Brothers of US$1.5 billion, he still had nearly one billion. Even after deducting the 200 million previously paid and the tax rate, he would still have an income of about 700 million.

Without warning, he entered the top 20 richest people in the country.

It was originally expected to break the myth of Titanic's global US$1.8 billion, but in the third week, "Resident Evil 4" was also officially released, which began to divert the audience. Moreover, the advent of the Internet age has weakened the appeal of theaters, otherwise it would have really

Possibility of impact.

Through Meier, Zhou Yuanqiang learned that "Resident Evil 4" was affected by the craziness of "Armageddon". In the first week of its release, it also received a box office of 23.5 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the global box office will reach about 350 million U.S. dollars, which is higher than that of the third film.

Three movies, twice as many, and far more than Anderson and the others expected.

"Armageddon" has also received rave reviews. Film critic Kirk Honeycutt of "The Hollywood Reporter" said: "It is definitely a thought-provoking movie. As long as you walk into the theater and watch it, you will be fascinated by it."

You will understand that life is not easy. The meaning expressed in it makes us ponder. Is this the destiny of us humans? It is like an alarm bell, always reminding us humans to protect the environment, cherish the earth, and avoid the end of the world.

.”

Robert Kohler of "Variety" magazine believes: "What I see is not the glamorous special effects, but the unyielding human beings. The courage to fight for survival regardless of death in the face of destruction is worthy of our admiration.

.It shows from another level that the spirit we humans have is the foundation of our survival. At the same time, it also calls on the biochemical experiments being studied by various countries to stop, and everything that happened during the "Doomsday Storm" should not be staged."

Some people praised it, and some people jumped out to criticize it. Of course, it had nothing to do with Zhou Yuanqiang. At this time, he had already taken his parents and little sister to take a flight to S City. In S City, Li Yihan had already found him.

There are several villas that meet Zhou Yuanqiang's requirements, but Zhou Yuanqiang needs to come back to confirm.

The trading company only had two vans, and Li Yihan also sent one to pick up Zhou Yuanqiang and the others.

Although the two vans were a bit shabby, they were enough for Zhou Yuanqiang’s parents. How could they not be part of his son’s career? But Zhou Yuanqiang was a little obsessed with staring at the cars. “There are many cars in the last days, some

There are also a large number of existing cars at the sales points in the city, all of which are new. Now that the company is so short of cars, if we have the opportunity to bring over a dozen of them, it will solve the problem of not having a car."

Thinking of cars, Zhou Yuanqiang couldn't help but worry about the transportation problem in the wasteland settlement. The army has been expanded to 60,000, but the transportation and delivery troops are only 3,000 at a time. He dare not think about what he should do if there is an emergency.

This transportation problem also needs to be solved.

Returning to the suite in his warehouse, after staying for one night, Zhou Yuanqiang drove a van and took his parents to several residences that Li Yihan found for him.

"Dad, look, what's it like here? It's three stories high, the area is OK, and the decoration is very good, which suits you very well. Of course, the key is its big yard. If you really can't stay idle, you can hang out in the yard with Mom.

There is some space to grow vegetables and so on. In addition to the garden in the big yard, there is still some space. The weather in S city is very hot. There is a swimming pool and an artificial coconut grove where my little sister and you can swim.

Take a swim."

When had Zhou Anpu and the others seen such a luxurious place? Even though they had seen it on TV, the gap between TV and reality was too big.

Su Lan was already frightened and said: "Qiang... Qiangzi, is it too big? How much does it cost?"

"How much?" Zhou Yuanqiang didn't know whether he should say it. He couldn't tell his parents that the area of ​​a tile standing under their feet could build two or three simple cement houses at home, right? He built 48 in the village.

The two of them have been distracted by the high-rise building for several days. How dare they talk nonsense this time? "Mom, this doesn't cost much, just one to one million. You see, we have a building worth 20 to 30 million."

It’s already been built, and it’s more than one million, so you’re not afraid of spending it, right?”

God knows, this villa is worth 28 million, and it is definitely the most wealthy area in S city.

For women who have never seen the world, more than one million is already an astronomical figure, so it is still heartbreaking. Only Zhou Anpu really likes it here, and Zhou Yuanqiang has also begun to get used to it.

Said: "I also like this place very much. Since Qiangzi is not short of this little money, we can feel at ease. Qiangzi is so big and he is a person who does big things. He has his own sense of proportion."

Zhou Xiaojing, on the other hand, has long been like a happy bird, looking around. Especially the simulated beach next to the swimming pool and the artificial coconut grove, which are exactly like her childhood dreams.

In fact, this place is close to the sea, but there are only a few beaches in S City, which have been used for tourism development. And the beaches in other places are too dirty for people to enjoy the waves in the sea. Therefore, the villas in S City are very

There are few that involve the sea, and they are all built on the seaside. Adding a beach to swimming can be regarded as satisfying people's yearning for the beach.

Seeing that her husband and daughter liked her, Su Lan did not stop her. Instead, she took her husband and looked around. From time to time she expressed her opinions on some open spaces and what vegetables should be planted. She kept following her.

The sales lady almost felt dizzy.

Buy a villa worth 28 million and live in it to grow vegetables? What a crazy idea, only these nouveau riche can think of it.
