The successful premiere of "Terminator 3" won unanimous praise from moviegoers and the media. Many film critics and media also scored a rare high score this year. Originally, the original crew of "Terminator 2" was filming. It is already very eye-catching. Countless fans of "Terminator 2" want to watch it in the theater in person just for this reason. In addition, although the overall economy of American society in the first half of the year was not greatly affected by the epidemic, cinema lines The impact was not small. When the epidemic was at its worst, in some areas of the United States, there were even less than ten people watching a movie in a movie theater at Nottingham University.

It is also for this reason that major Hollywood film companies have postponed the release of their own movies until the epidemic has completely subsided. At this time, news came that "Terminator 3" will be released in mid-June. Many movies The company consciously revised the original schedule again. No one wants to be the character who accompanies the prince to study. Films jointly produced by Fang Mingyuan and Cameron have never failed, not to mention that this time it is one that thousands of fans have been waiting for for many years. "Terminator" series, fighting them in the ring, isn't it because your death is not miserable enough?

Various factors have resulted in a movie-going craze that is rare in the history of American movies! There were already long queues in front of the nearly 4,000 theaters showing "Terminator 3", and now there is still another one. Many. The cinema has temporarily decided to stay open 24 hours a day during weekends to meet the movie-watching needs of movie fans.

However, even so, in many places, movie tickets for "Terminator 3" are still hard to get. Those fans who are eager to watch the movie even sent out high-priced purchase messages on the Internet. Theaters in good locations and time slots Movie tickets can even be sold for three to five times the original price. Many cinemas even have to limit the number of tickets each person can buy because of this.

"Terminator 3" topped the North American weekend box office list with a box office of more than 331 million US dollars, knocking out the second place in three streets. If we follow the usual practice of the North American film market, the first weekend box office If it generally accounts for about 30% of the total box office, the final box office of "Terminator 3" in North America is likely to be close to one billion US dollars, or even exceed it! This result can be said to be already better than the final box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" The first weekend box office of one episode was even higher. It set a new record in the North American film market. Its global box office was as high as more than 487 million U.S. dollars. The European film market also contributed a similar amount this weekend. $150 million in box office.

This achievement shocked the whole of Hollywood and the whole world. In just three days and one weekend, "Terminator 3" had already recovered all the shooting and publicity costs. And there was still a huge surplus. This was once again It has been proven time and again that "Fang" and Cameron are still the golden partner that no one can shake their status in Hollywood. Their works have greater appeal among movie fans than others. There are already people who do good things. When considering whether "Terminator 3" might break the world box office record of "Titanic" which has not changed for many years.

Of course, many filmmakers and company bosses are also secretly glad that they have escaped the schedule of "Terminator 3". Otherwise, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, but not everyone has the face of Cameron and Fang Mingyuan.

, can extend the schedule like "Titanic" back then, and that's because "Titanic" has strong box office support.

The popularity of "Terminator 3" has naturally boosted the popularity of many actors. Needless to say, Schwarzenegger and Mitsuri Uda, both of whom were originally first-line movie stars. Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, Robert

The three Patricks became the biggest beneficiaries, and the three immediately became the focus of media attention.

On June 17, Schwarzenegger suddenly officially announced that if California voters are determined to recall the current California governor, he will participate in the election of the new governor!

And just the day before, June 16, the car license fee in California tripled, from 7% of the car price to 2%. There were immediate calls to recall the governor in California.

It has risen again. In fact, at this point, the current governor Gray Davis is very helpless. Because according to California law, the car license fee rises and falls on its own based on the amount of California State Treasury funds, and is not determined by the governor.

Decision. But to say that he is innocent is obviously not the case. If California were not financially tight and the state coffers were empty, how could such a situation happen?

As we all know, the United States is a country on wheels. Almost all adults have cars. The car license fee has increased so much all of a sudden. Naturally, voters in California are complaining.

Moreover, on the Iraqi battlefield, the ground offensive of the U.S.-British coalition was slightly frustrated due to tight logistics supplies and resistance from the Iraqi army. A stalemate was formed with the Iraqi army in central Iraq. The U.S.-British coalition's goal of "quick victory"

This situation has caused a significant correction in crude oil prices in the international market, which have already fallen sharply. Domestic diesel and gasoline prices in the United States have naturally adjusted accordingly, which naturally makes California voters increasingly dissatisfied.

——There is no clear increase in income, but the taxes paid are increasing.

Schwarzenegger's decision immediately aroused the response of not only voters in California, but also many people in other states in the United States expressed their support for Schwarzenegger's decision in various ways.

!Many companies and movie stars in Hollywood also cautiously expressed their support for Schwarzenegger's decision.

In Los Angeles in June, the temperature was hot. Fang Mingyuan and Hei Keijiro were sitting in the cool living room, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This time, it was Hei Keijiro who took the initiative to come to the door. Fang Mingyuan was in Uda Mitsuri's villa,

received him.

"Fang Jun, I wonder how you have considered our proposal?" Taira Keijiro smiled.

"I'm sorry!" Fang Mingyuan said apologetically, "I..."

Heikejiro's heart immediately sank. Even if they offered such high conditions, would Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Fang Mingyuan still refuse to join? This made him anxious. In the past few days, in Los Angeles, he had also witnessed

I have seen the movie-watching craze triggered by "Terminator 3" in the North American film market. In front of all the theaters showing "Terminator 3", there are long lines waiting to buy tickets. Such a scene must wait until Japan has lifted the epidemic.

You can also see it.

It has been five days since "Terminator 3" was released. The North American box office has exceeded 450 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has reached 700 million U.S. dollars! It can be said that even the U.S. money printing plant prints US dollars.

Not at this speed!

If MGM can have a movie every year with a box office that is half of the box office of "Terminator 3", as long as its other movies are not too bad at the box office, at least the company can basically turn a profit. Therefore, this is more determined for Sony.

The company's determination to bring Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Fang Mingyuan into the new company is also responsible for its huge investment! And they are all looking forward to what kind of brilliance the 007 series will shine in Fang Mingyuan's hands.

.

"Fang Jun, don't refuse in a hurry. This matter is easy to discuss. If you are dissatisfied with anything or have any special requirements, we can discuss it again." Hirakejiro quickly interrupted Fang Mingyuan. If

If Fang Mingyuan says his rejection, it will not be easy to change the situation.

"Uh... uh!" Fang Mingyuan blinked and said nothing more. In fact, he wanted to tell Heijingjiro that he had no time to think about it these days, so naturally there would be no results. But Heijingjiro

When Jiro said this, he naturally got rich in silence. Only a fool would tell him that he didn't even have time to think about it.

Seeing that Fang Mingyuan did not continue, Taira Keijiro quickly thought about why he had already offered quite good conditions, and why Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Fang Mingyuan still refused. Could it be that they thought that instead of being led by Sony,

It is better to cooperate with these consortiums than to exclusively enjoy the benefits brought by these future films. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are factors from several other film companies, whether it is the Emerald Bird Film Group Company or DreamWorks Film Company.

None of them are happy to see Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group and Sony's film companies getting closer and closer. After all, we are all competitors. There are five to six hundred movies produced in Hollywood every year, but it can really make a lot of money.

How many are there?

If Hong Kong Kumho Film Group takes a stake in MGM, it will inevitably increase its cooperation with MGM in the future. This result is something that Kingfisher Film Group and DreamWorks Pictures are not willing to see.

Especially the Kingfisher Film Group, its long-term cooperation with Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group has made it from a second-rate film company to a first-tier film company. In the past few years, Columbia Pictures has gained a lot.

With the script provided by Fang Mingyuan, it has already expressed its dissatisfaction implicitly on many occasions. Naturally, it cannot allow the fat that might have fallen into its pocket to have another competitor.

Maybe... maybe... maybe they offered Fang Mingyuan some more attractive terms behind his back.

Heike Jiro recalled that Fang Mingyuan had met with the directors of Jade Bird Film Group Company and DreamWorks Film Company in the past few days, and he couldn't help but strengthen his judgment.
