The Sony boss behind Colombia was dissatisfied with Abbas's extramarital affair. Soon, Akio Morita gave Abbas an ultimatum, "Stop living and drinking, you must know that we still have strong opponents!"

In this regard, Abbas's answer was simple, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, Yi Feiyang is like a poor Chinese monkey who can't turn the palm of my hand!"

…

The end of August 2002.

The North American summer vacation is about to end, and the movie box office war for this summer vacation is about to come to an end.

As two generations of heroes on the battlefield, Yi Feiyang and Sam Raimi both gave their best answers. Regardless of which one of them will win in the end, judging from the total box office, whether it is "Spider-Man" or "Iron Man"

” are all box office monsters this summer.

So far, without strong competition from rivals, the sci-fi action film "Spider-Man" produced and distributed by Columbia has accumulated a staggering global box office of 920 million U.S. dollars, entering the top 15 highest box office in Hollywood history. According to previous generations

Calculating the US$630 million of this drama, it can be said that Colombia has changed the historical trajectory, and the box office is nearly US$300 million higher than its previous life!

Fantasy entertainment is very stressful!

Yes, it’s stressful!,

As of now, the total global box office of Fantasy Entertainment's "Iron Man" is 769 million US dollars. This figure is far behind Columbia's "Spider-Man". From the current point of view, although the "Iron Man" movie has relied on word-of-mouth efforts in the later period,

Although we are chasing "Spider-Man", we are still unable to catch up, and we are missed by a huge box office gap.

Just when Colombia was about to happily announce its victory in the summer vacation and show off its power, another piece of data came out. As soon as this data came out, it immediately shocked the whole of Hollywood, and even the whole world!

What data?!

"Iron Man" online viewing profit data!

As mentioned above, before the release of "Iron Man", Yi Feiyang secretly signed experimental online paid viewing contracts with major websites in the United States, Europe, Asia and other regions.

And it was this inconspicuous, seemingly experimental contract that caused an earth-shaking shock at this moment.

Why?

Because this data is so amazing---817 million!

In other words, Yi Feiyang's "Iron Man" earned an astonishing box office of 817 million by relying solely on online viewing!

To be precise...online box office!!

Unprecedented online box office!

That’s right, it’s the online box office!

In his previous life, Yi Feiyang discovered that many Hollywood blockbusters would be publicly available for online viewing two or three months after their release. Many of them were included in VIP movies and supported paid viewing.

It is for this motive that Yi Feiyang designed this unprecedented "online synchronized paid viewing". Note that it is "synchronized viewing", not two or three months later.

Yi Feiyang did not dare to hold out much hope for this experimental strategy. To the outside world, this was a very ridiculous behavior.

"God, if you can watch movies online, why do you need movie theaters?" This is a mocking view.

"Is China going crazy if it wants to rely on the Internet to make money at the box office?"

"Blockbusters are only enjoyable to watch in cinemas. Watching them online? What a joke!"

…

In short, the outside world was not optimistic about Yi Feiyang's cooperation project before, and even his rival Columbia ridiculed after learning the news: "China Yi really seems to regard himself as a Hollywood tyrant and is driving movie theaters into a dead end!"

"

Yes, everyone is not optimistic about Yi Feiyang's audacious plan, or it is a ridiculous plan.

In their view, Yi Feiyang made two big mistakes.

First, the Internet can never replace movie theaters, which lack the comfortable audio-visual effects.

Second, simultaneous viewing of "Iron Man" online will only weaken the box office of his real-life movies.

But the truth is exactly the opposite!

After the simultaneous online viewing of "Iron Man" was implemented during the premiere, those lazy young people who like to stay at home can directly open the video and pay 2 US dollars, which is much lower than the actual ticket price, to watch this movie comfortably.

For them, watching movie videos at home is more free and comfortable than in a cinema. They can avoid the bustling crowd and enjoy their favorite movies alone.

Of course, after all, online video is not as shocking as watching it in a movie theater, and the audio-visual effect is not comparable, but it is worse than a "warmth" and "comfort". You know, compared to being warm and comfortable, there is no place like home. In addition, Many fans who like this movie, after watching "Iron Man" online, were moved by the story and shocked by the scenes. In order to experience a more realistic audio-visual experience, they went to the movie to watch it a second time!

Since then, online viewing has not only not weakened the real box office of "Iron Man", on the contrary, it has also helped him gather more audiences and win more box office. This is also why "Iron Man" later

"The box office will get better and better, and the distance between it and "Spider-Man" will continue to narrow.
