The successful premiere of "Terminator 3" has won unanimous praise from moviegoers and the media. Many film critics and media also scored high marks that are rare this year. It is already very eye-catching, and countless fans of "Terminator 2" have to watch it in theaters for this reason. In addition, although the economy of the American society in the first half of the year was not affected much by the epidemic, the movie theater line The damage was not small. When the epidemic was at its worst, in some parts of the United States, it even appeared that there were less than ten spectators sitting in a movie theater at Nuo University.

It is also for this reason that Hollywood's major film companies have postponed the release time of their own films. When the epidemic subsides completely, at this time there is news that "Terminator 3" will be released in mid-June. Many films The company is very conscious to revise the original schedule again.No one wants to be the character who accompanies the prince to study. Fang Mingyuan and Cameron have never failed in the film they collaborated with. What's more, this time is the "Terminator" series that thousands of movie fans have been looking forward to for many years. Is it not miserable enough to make yourself die?

Various factors have caused a movie-watching frenzy rarely seen in the history of American movies!There was already a long queue in front of the nearly 3 theaters where "Terminator 24" was shown, and now there is still a word of change.Many movie theaters make impromptu decisions.During the weekend, the cinema is open [-] hours a day to meet the needs of movie fans.

However, even so, in many places, movie tickets for "Terminator 3" are still hard to find. Those fans who are eager to watch the movie even sent out high-priced messages on the Internet. Movie tickets can even be sold for three to five times the original price.Many movie theaters even have to limit the number of tickets each person can buy.

"Terminator 3" topped the North American weekend box office chart with a box office of more than 2 million US dollars, throwing No.3 out by more than three streets.If we follow the usual practice of the North American film market.The first weekend box office generally accounts for about 5000% of the total box office. The final box office of "Terminator [-]" in North America is likely to be close to one billion US dollars, or even exceed it!This achievement can be said to be higher than the first weekend box office of the last episode of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings", setting a new record in the North American film market.Its global box office is as high as [-] million US dollars.The European film market also contributed almost $[-] million in box office this weekend.

this achievement.Shocked all of Hollywood and the world.In just three days, in one weekend, "Terminator 3" has already recovered all the filming and publicity costs.And there is a huge surplus.This proves once again that "Fang" and Cameron are still the golden partners that no one can shake their status in Hollywood. The works of the two have more appeal than others among movie fans.There are already people who have good things, and are thinking about whether "Terminator 3" may break the world box office record of "Titanic" that has not changed for many years.

Of course, many filmmakers and company bosses are also secretly thankful that they escaped the schedule of "Terminator 3", otherwise, they will definitely suffer a lot. Not everyone has the face of Cameron and Fang Mingyuan , can extend the schedule like "Titanic" back then, and that is also because "Titanic" has a strong box office as support.

The popularity of "Terminator 3" has naturally led to the popularity of many actors. Needless to say, Schwarzenegger and Uda Mitsuri, the two were originally first-line movie stars, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, Robert The three of Patrick became the biggest beneficiaries, and the three of them immediately became the focus of media attention.

On June [-]th, Schwarzenegger suddenly and officially announced that if California voters decided to remove the current governor of California, he would run for the new governor!

And just the day before, on June [-], the license plate fee in California tripled from [-] percent of the car price to [-] percent, and calls for the removal of the governor in California were immediate. It rose again.In fact, on this point, the current governor, Gray Davis, is very helpless, because according to the law of California, the license plate fee is voluntarily adjusted according to the amount of money in the California State Curry, and is not decided by the governor.But to say that he is innocent is obviously not the case.If it weren't for the tight financial situation in California and the empty state treasury, how could such a situation arise?

As we all know, the United States is a country on wheels, almost all adults have cars, and the license plate fee has increased so much at once, the voters in California are naturally full of complaints.

Moreover, because on the Iraqi battlefield, the offensive of the US-British coalition forces was slightly frustrated due to the shortage of logistics supplies and the resistance of the Iraqi army, and a stalemate was formed with the Iraqi army in central Iraq. failed to materialize.This situation has made the crude oil price in the international market, which has fallen sharply, have a clear correction trend.Naturally, the prices of diesel and gasoline in the United States have also been adjusted accordingly, which naturally makes the voters in California even more dissatisfied-there is no clear increase in income, but more and more taxes are being paid.

Schwarzenegger's decision immediately aroused not only the response of California voters, but also many people in other states of 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 He Jingjiro sat in the shady living room, from which they could overlook the Pacific Ocean.This time, it was Hei Jingjiro who came to the door on his own initiative.Fang Mingyuan received him in Uda Guangli's villa.

"Mr. Fang, I don't know how you think about our proposal?" Hei Jingjiro said with a smile.

"I'm sorry!" Fang Mingyuan said with an apologetic face, "I..."

Hei Jingjiro's heart immediately sank. Even if such a high condition was offered, 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 has also seen with his own eyes "Terminator 3" in the North American movie market. In front of all the movie theaters where "Terminator 3" is shown, there are long queues waiting to buy tickets. The scene, presumably, can be seen after the epidemic is lifted in Japan.

It has been five days since "Terminator 3" was released, the North American box office has exceeded 5000 million US dollars, and the global box office has reached [-] million US dollars!It can be said that even if the printing presses of the United States print dollars, they cannot reach this speed!

If MGM can have one movie a year that makes half as much as "Terminator 3" at the box office, as long as its other movies don't do too badly, at least the company can basically turn a profit.Therefore, this has strengthened Sony's determination to bring Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Fang Mingyuan into the new company, which is also responsible for its huge investment!And they were all looking forward to what kind of brilliance the 007 series would shine in Fang Mingyuan's hands.

"Fang Jun, don't refuse in a hurry. This matter is easy to discuss. If you have any dissatisfaction, or have any special requirements, we can discuss it again." He Jingjiro quickly interrupted Fang Mingyuan's words.If Fang Mingyuan were to say the words of refusal, it would not be easy to turn things around.

"Uh...uh!" Fang Mingyuan blinked and said nothing.In fact, he wanted to tell Hei Jingjiro that he didn't have time to think about it these days, so naturally there would be no results.But when Hei Jingjiro said this, he naturally made a fortune in silence.Only a fool would tell him that he didn't have time to think about it.

Seeing that Fang Mingyuan did not continue, Hei Jingjiro quickly thought about why he had already offered a pretty good offer, and why Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Fang Mingyuan still refused.Could it be that they think that instead of cooperating with these consortiums headed by Sony, it is better to enjoy the benefits of these future movies exclusively.Of course, it is not ruled out that there are factors of several other film companies. Whether it is the Jade Bird Film Group or DreamWorks Films, they are definitely not happy to see the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Sony's film companies leave. getting closer.After all, everyone is a competitor. There are five or six hundred movies made in Hollywood every year, but how many can really make a lot of money?

If Hong Kong Kumho Film Group takes a stake in MGM, it will definitely increase its cooperation with MGM in the future. This result is something that Jade Bird Film Group and DreamWorks Films do not want to see.In particular, the Kingfisher Film Group Company has been cooperating with the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group for a long time, making it a first-tier film company from a second-rate film company in one fell swoop. For the past few years, Columbia Pictures has gained a lot. The script provided by Fang Mingyuan has already expressed its dissatisfaction implicitly on many occasions, so naturally it cannot allow the fat that might have fallen into its own pocket to have another competitor.

Maybe... Maybe... Maybe they offered Fang Mingyuan some more attractive conditions behind their backs.

Hejing Jiro thought about it for a while, Fang Mingyuan had met with the directors of Jade Bird Film Group Company and DreamWorks Film Company in the past few days, and he could not help but strengthen his judgment. (To be continued..)
