Although the box office cannot represent everything, it can tell which drama is more popular. It can be said that although the box office is not the only truth to test whether a drama is excellent, it is the only weight to distinguish it!

Nowadays, "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "Muhammad Ali" have similar reputations, and both are making huge profits at the box office. But who is the real winner depends on this week's North American box office rankings.

Thousands and thousands of others.

A week later, the box office rankings finally came out.

Sony-Columbia Pictures, "Muhammad Ali," weekly box office: $35.58 million.

Fantasy Entertainment Film Company's "The Pursuit of Happiness" has a weekly box office of US$28.33 million.

The two were released almost at the same time, but their weekly box office differed by more than 7 million!

More than seven million is not a small amount. For these two dramas, it is obvious to judge the difference immediately.

"Wow, we won! Muhammad Ali defeated that damn salesman!" some "King of Fighters" fans jumped and shouted.

"Oh damn, how could this happen? There is a difference of more than 7 million US dollars!" "Happiness" fans lamented.

"'Muhammad Ali' is mighty! We knew you were the best!"

"Impossible! How could "Happiness" lose so much?!"

…

Indeed, there is a huge difference between the two. Although there are many factors that determine the box office of a movie, such as the number of moviegoers, the number of theaters, and the distribution intensity of the producer, etc., before this, "

"Muhammad Ali" and "The Pursuit of Happiness" are almost equally matched in these aspects, whether it is intensity, theater numbers, or the number of viewers... but the results are unexpected.

No matter what, the facts have proven everything. This week "King of Fighters" wins and "Happiness" loses!

…

At this moment, Abbas, the producer of "Muhammad Ali", was proudly looking at the box office data in his hand, and then issued an order: "Go. Book out all the other 48 movie theaters. I want the entire Los Angeles movie theater to be booked."

Two-thirds of the cinemas show our plays!”

"That's right! China Yi, this time I'm going to kill you with money... Haha, those Japanese guys are really rich and can come up with such a poisonous trick!" Abbas squinted his triangular eyes, imagining Yi Feiyang.

The movie was beaten at the box office. He crawled at his feet and licked the soles of his shoes.

Hurting someone with your heart!

Play privately!

This move is so vicious that only a bastard could think of it.

In previous lives, many unscrupulous film companies also used this trick. Their own companies contracted their own movies, and it didn't matter whether anyone saw them. As long as the box office could rise.

Today, Colombia actually used this trick!

Obviously, Fantasy Entertainment's new drama has been forced into a dead end. How can the box office be improved? Seeing that more and more people are "watching" "Muhammad Ali", it seems to be more popular than "The Pursuit of Happyness"

Exuberant, all those who are jealous of Yi Feiyang and those who complain that the dream is developing too fast are now clasping their hands and laughing. Look, this is the consequence of being proud and complacent!

China Yi, you also have today!

However, Hollywood opposes and prohibits this kind of unfair competition, so everything at Columbia Pictures is conducted in secret.

However, there is a saying in the world that "paper cannot contain fire". As the box office rankings for the second week are about to be released, "rumors" have also spread.

“Colombia booked the venue and faked the box office!”

""Muhammad Ali" is suspected of ticket fraud, and the North American Film Association is investigating!"

"The war at the box office has triggered a fraud scandal. Who can dominate the weekly box office? Let's wait and see this week!"

…

The weather vane of public opinion became more and more turbulent, and neither Columbia nor Fantasy Entertainment, as the parties involved, made any comments.

Of course, the North American Film Association's intervention in the investigation has already explained everything - don't forget, Abbas himself is the chairman of the association, so the results of the investigation are nothing. Of course, Abbas also directly ordered the people who booked the venue to stop,

This time, no matter what, it is a tough battle, and he is bound to crush China Yi's bones!

A week later, the North American movie box office rankings were released again.

Sony-Columbia Pictures, weekly box office $33.26 million;

Fantasy Entertainment Film Company, with a weekly box office of US$32.97 million.

Columbia still occupies the top spot, and Fantasy is firmly in second place. However, anyone who is interested will find that the box office gap between the two films of Fantasy Entertainment and Columbia is gradually narrowing. In addition, the overall box office of "Muhammad Ali" is shrinking.

, on the contrary, the overall box office of "The Pursuit of Happiness" is steadily rising!

What does this mean?!

It shows that the drama "The Pursuit of Happiness" has great potential and the number of people watching the movie is increasing. In comparison, "Muhammad Ali" is already a bit weak...

Incredible!

Absolutely incredible!

Could it be that "Muhammad Ali" with a big cast, a big lineup, and a big investment can't compete with China Yi's new drama?!

"God, is China Yi going to create another miracle?"

"Who would have thought that a boxing champion wouldn't be able to defeat a salesman?"

"Black celebrity competition, who is better, Will or Denzel?!"

…

There has never been a life-and-death struggle between two movies. This scene dazzled everyone.

There is a saying that what is exciting inside the movie is even more exciting outside the movie!

Faced with this situation, many well-known filmmakers came out and said: "Which of these two movies is better? Let's put the fire out first, because as far as we know, these two movies are about to be shortlisted for this year's awards."

In two months, the Oscars will give them a fair statement, and they will be judged at that time!"

Battle for the Oscars?

As soon as these words came out, those people who were clamoring worked hard, with only one purpose - to cheer for the future Oscars!

This stunned the peacemakers who originally wanted to come out to quell the war of words.

Under such a situation, Yi Feiyang, the boss of Fantasy Entertainment, suddenly announced that he was going to start filming another movie - "The Hunger Games"!

…

In fact, Yi Feiyang created "The Hunger Games" after agreeing to Jessica Alba write a script for her. And in order to gain influence, Yi Feiyang hired someone to adapt the script into a science fiction novel and publish it.

The effect of the novel is very significant. It has had a huge impact especially on teenagers. Originally, in the previous life, this drama was adapted from the novel into a movie. Now it is just the other way around. The movie has not yet started shooting, and the novel has already been adapted into a movie.

Widely spread in the United States.

As we all know, the United States is the most popular country for science fiction and fantasy works, and the play "The Hunger Games" itself has elements of both science fiction and fantasy. In particular, the storyline has a very "wasteland" character, and the characters are full of vitality and use.

In layman's terms, the characters are YY and the story is bloody, so many people like to watch it.

In the American book industry, there is a book sales list, which selects the most potential sales books and the best-selling books every week and every quarter. Since the novel "The Hunger Games" came out, it has been on the top of the list.

It has the potential to rank first in the weekly rankings. Then it will directly enter the first place in the quarterly best-selling rankings!

Of course, the reason why this novel is so powerful, in addition to the wonderful story writing, the most important thing is that the author of this novel is actually --- Yi Feiyang!

Yi Feiyang, Magic Yang, China Yi!

Different names, but the same person!

But he is more well-known as a great director and screenwriter!

But it is such a genius, eccentric, and weird who wrote two novels "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Hunger Games" one after another!

Some people said that he hired a ghostwriter. In the past, Yi Feiyang did not admit or deny it, but just told those unreasonable people to "go away." But this time, he admitted frankly, "Yes, I hired a ghostwriter! But the story is

mine!"

How domineering and awesome this sentence is!

I decide my story!

Write however you want!

Those guys who originally wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Yi Feiyang were speechless.

God, I've seen thick-skinned people, but never one so thick-skinned!

In short, Yi Feiyang's goal has been achieved, the story of "The Hunger Games" has become popular, and the preparations for this drama have become popular!

Everyone...especially those who have read the novel are looking forward to him starting filming this drama as soon as possible.

Under such circumstances, Yi Feiyang announced without hesitation that "The Hunger Games" is officially in preparation!

But please note that this is preparation, not shooting!

In addition to a director, a cinematographer, and a heroine, a play must also have a male protagonist and many supporting roles.

This time, Yi Feiyang will choose the male lead and supporting roles of this drama through auditions.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation throughout North America. No one could have imagined that Yi Feiyang, who was preparing for the Oscars, would do this.

"This is hype! Live hype!"
