Huayu started by giving the system to female stars

Chapter 333 332. The May Day stall has existed in name only since then

"Boss, Sister Fei, you are here, welcome!"

Chen Kuai also said: "The arrival of you two really makes this place shine!"

Wei Wu walked to the door of the theater with Liu Tianxian on his arm, and happened to bump into Chen Kuai and Tang Yan who were concierges at the door. They were the male and female protagonists of this movie.

Wei Wu waved his hand casually and said, "That's almost it. Congratulations on the release of your new film."

Liu Tianxian also handed over the flowers and gifts:

"Congratulations, I wish the new movie "My Deskmate" a great success!"

Tang Yan took the flowers and Chen Kuai took the gift box. They both thanked each other hurriedly:

"Thank you, Sister Fei, thank you boss."

Wei Wu smiled and teased Tang Yan: "How are you? The movie starring you is about to be released, and the ugly daughter-in-law is going to meet her parents-in-law. How are you feeling now?"

Tang Yan laughed so hard that he lost his eyes: "Happy, excited, nervous... To be honest, I really want to give tickets to all my relatives and friends so that they can go see it quickly!"

Everyone present could see that her smile came from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that being a heroine really made her so excited that she couldn't contain herself.

Then she bowed her hands to Wei Wu and said, "But I have to thank my boss for his cultivation, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be a heroine in a movie so soon!"

Wei Wu laughed with satisfaction and said, "Haha, that's good if you know!"

Liu Tianxian pushed him lightly and said:

"Hey, if you say you're fat, you'll gasp!"

Wei Wu smiled and continued: "But you have a strong opponent this time! This year's May 1st champion will probably miss you."

Chen Kuai suppressed his smile and asked: "Boss, are you talking about..."Iron Man"?"

"Yeah," Wei Wu said in a leisurely tone:

"You actually ran into this movie head-on, you're really unlucky!"

"Iron Man" is the pioneering masterpiece of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It is precisely because of the box office success of this movie that it created a glorious era of superhero movies.

Marvel may not necessarily be the most successful movie company in the 21st century, but it should be the most profitable movie company in this century.

Among the top 10 box office rankings in global film history, Marvel occupies 2, 6, 7, and 10 respectively. It can be said that it dominates half of the world. I wonder which other company can do this?

Tang Yan's face became a little solemn: "Is the boss very optimistic about this movie?"

Tang Yan asked this question because the movie "Iron Man" was actually released in China and the United States at the same time, and its release date in North America was also April 30.

As we all know, people in the United States do not celebrate May Day, so there is no May Day stall. Their Labor Day is the first Monday in September.

Therefore, the release time of "Iron Man" is most likely based on the domestic schedule.

Although Marvel is very arrogant in the back, it still attaches great importance to Huaguo during this period. Mainly because it has just started and it really can't shake up!

If this movie is released in North America first like other Hollywood movies, then Tang Yan will naturally know how great this movie is.

Wei Wu nodded and said, "Well, I'm very optimistic about the comic-book superhero movie. This movie will definitely be a big hit. Even if the box office in the mainland doesn't exceed 100 million, it shouldn't be much different."

Wei Wu has already looked through his memories. In his previous life, the film's mainland box office was 92 million yuan, ranking 13th in the year.

Moreover, the movie grossed US$319 million at the box office in North America and US$583 million globally, making it the eighth highest-grossing movie in the world that year.

It was the success of "Iron Man" that laid the foundation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to take off.

By the way, in the previous life in 2008, the third highest global box office was "Kung Fu Panda", the fourth was "Hancock", and the tenth was "The Chronicles of Narnia 2".

No wonder these three movies have achieved good results in the domestic summer season, because these are already among the top 10 most popular movies at the global box office.

Tang Yan suddenly muttered with a frown on his face: "If that's the case, then why doesn't it go to the summer season to collect a big one?

"Obviously this year's May Day Golden Week has been cut into three days, and it still wants to compete with us for food!"

Wei Wu secretly laughed in his heart. If the other party knew that he was so awesome, then they would definitely not choose this time slot, and would most likely choose to fight in the summer time slot.

The reason why "Iron Man" did not choose the summer release is probably because it was cowardly, lacked confidence in itself, and completely underestimated its box office potential.

Although there is no May Day holiday in the United States, it is still open during the summer vacation.

Their summer vacation is similar to ours, which lasts until the beginning of September, but they usually start their vacation in early June.

Just imagine, if "Iron Man" chooses to be released in the summer, the box office will definitely be more successful than in its previous life!

Then it is estimated that he will no longer be ranked eighth in the year, and may even have a good chance of being ranked among the top five in the year.

After all, "Hancock," which ranked fourth at the global box office that year, only had a total global box office of $26 million more than "Iron Man."

26 million may seem like a lot, but it is released in so many countries. If you change to a better schedule, you will get 1 million more here, and they will get 500,000 more, and they will exceed it in minutes!

Don’t talk about far away, let’s talk about domestic!

If "Iron Man" chooses to be released in the summer, and the final box office exceeds 100 million, there should be no problem in ranking among the top 10 of the year.

Tang Yan suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that the Americans don't know that our May Day holiday has been changed? They still treasure this period as before!"

Wei Wu laughed dumbly: "This matter has been announced a long time ago. It was widely publicized at the end of last year. It was not announced at the last minute. How could they not know?"

It turned out that this year, the "May Day Golden Week" implemented since 1999 was cancelled, and the May Day holiday was changed from seven days to three days.

In the same year, three short holidays were added, namely Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and the total holiday time was changed from 10 days to 11 days.

To be honest, the adjustment of this holiday has a great impact on the film industry.

It is equivalent to directly abolishing one of the four major periods. The May Day period, which was originally on par with the National Day period, can be said to be dead in name only.

Since then, when people mention the four major periods again, there is no May Day period. The "new four major periods" have become:

Spring Festival period, summer period, National Day period and New Year period.

As for the May Day schedule, from now on, it can only be mixed with the "Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival schedules".

However, although the May Day schedule is down, it is still a three-day holiday, which is basically the best schedule under the "New Four Majors", so Wei Wu still put "My Deskmate" in this schedule.

The competition between the Lunar New Year and summer schedules is too fierce, and the National Day schedule is too far away, so we can only make do with it!

The key is that Wei Wu has decided to arrange "Greedy Wolf" (SPL 2) for the National Day schedule this year. We can't let "My Deskmate" go there to kill each other, right?

In addition, Weiguo Pictures has already arranged three movies for this summer, and it really can't arrange any more.

In addition to "The Sword of Assassination", the company's new films to be released in this summer include Ning Hao's "The Murderer" and Chen Sicheng's "Fleeting Time".

Of course, these three movies should also be released at different times, and try not to affect each other.

Besides, there are only so many schedules this year, and someone has to make sacrifices.

Wei Wu certainly can't sacrifice himself, nor can he sacrifice Ning Hao, and as for the high-investment "Van Lang", he can't sacrifice either.

So he can only choose one of the remaining two youth films, but "My Deskmate" was filmed earlier, so this movie will be released first.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu waved his hand and comforted:

"Well, there is no need to be so stressed! Our movie has a small investment, and basically as long as the box office exceeds 20 million, there will be profit."

Tang Yan whispered with a guilty conscience: "Can it break?"

Wei Wu nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

At this time, Wei Wu glanced at Liu Tianxian, and she immediately looked around and said:

"Then you guys go ahead, we'll go in first!"

Chen Xi immediately smiled and said: "Okay, see you later."
