Chapter 513 Targeted
The designer of the toy company looked at Barron in surprise and said that he needed a sense of 'cuteness'.
But at this time, 99% of the designers are men, and just looking at the comics in the United States, we know that no matter in the past or in the future, they have never had the concept of cuteness.
Tough, violent, and erotic they are very good at.
In the end, it was Barron who called Li Changheng again, and some cartoonized Macaulay appeared on the fax machine, which made him think at a glance that this kind of doll might be really suitable for children and young people.
However, I saw that it was still written on the fax and asked the lawyer if he could register the copyright.
Barron immediately put away more than a dozen drawings, drawing dozens of figures with pencils.
Then immediately call Li Changheng, the lawyer team in the United States.
It's a pity that an afternoon and an evening were wasted. In the end, the legal team was absolutely sure to copyright the cartoonized image of Macaulay and even Li Changheng.
But the whole cartoon style is hard to say.
After Li Changheng knew about this, he just curled his lips and stopped paying attention.
On the third day, 3,000 plastic dolls and 100,000 posters produced by working overtime appeared in the Greater Los Angeles.
In more than 100 movie theaters in more than a dozen surrounding counties and cities including Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardin County, and Ventura County.
What the three theaters, Barron and Kalman didn't expect was.
Those who haven't watched the movie yet, once they see Lee Jang Hyung's posters and palm-sized dolls, they immediately become the object of pursuit of children and young girls.
I heard that the posters were redeemed with movie tickets, but it took two days to redeem them all.
After all, not everyone will go to buy snacks, so not everyone knows the poster.
But the dolls were sold out by children and young girls before the first movie started.
And some little girls directly bought the two sets of Li Changheng and Macaulay, 24 dolls.
Watching it in the largest movie theater in Los Angeles, Barron, who wanted to see for himself whether the peripheral products were popular, became ecstatic.
You must know that the price of a doll is 5 dollars, which is more expensive than movie tickets.
And 6000 seems a lot, but it is only 250 sets.
Once someone buys a full set, except for the movies in the central city area, each can get four or five sets, and other movie theaters only have two sets.
The cost price of 6,000 pieces is 1 US dollar each, and they were sold out before 7 o'clock, which is equivalent to a direct profit of 24,000 US dollars.
This is just the audience of more than 100 movie theaters in Greater Los Angeles.
Calculated across the United States, how much money do 1,500 movie theaters have to make?
That night, an order for 100,000 sets, or 1.2 million dolls, was sent to the toy company.
The box office of the film's first week was first reported by the Hollywood media.
The 3.4 million US dollars for the night show on Friday night directly allowed 1,000 movie theaters across the United States to allocate all Saturday's shows to Home Alone.
Starting at 9:00 in the morning, although the two-hour show led to a drop in attendance, after 10 filmings, the box office directly exceeded 10 million, and it even reached 11.7 million US dollars.
Then, while breaking the single-day box office record, 200 copies of the urgent re-engraving began on Friday night, and were sent to the five largest cities in the central part of the United States before 6 am on Sunday.
As a result, the box office on Sunday did not decrease but increased, once again breaking the single-day box office record on Sunday, going straight to 12.2 million US dollars.
The box office of 27.2 million US dollars in the first three days shocked Hollywood and the capital market in an instant. Countless practitioners are wondering whether the market is showing signs of recovery?
Then not only people in Hollywood are studying Li Changheng, but even people in the advertising industry and Wall Street jumped out to show their presence.
Those capitals who waited and hesitated early in the morning immediately began to contact Michael Enzyme.
Even for the other six major companies, while their market value has risen a wave and gained more attention, some Wall Street investment banks directly stated in the media that they are considering whether to join in investing in Hollywood.
Now when the media are carnival, apart from United Artists and Michael Enzyme, the other six big companies in Hollywood are in danger.
This move by Wall Street actually helped Li Changheng.
Because not everyone wants to see Home Alone go on a rampage and make a big splash at the box office.
After all, the box office market in the United States will definitely have a ceiling. When encountering phenomena and movies, it still follows the law of winner-take-all.
The attention of the audience and the media is all on one movie, which means that other movies in the same period have become the existence of accompanying the prince to study.
If the film cannot make money, the director, actors, behind-the-scenes, and film companies will all be the direct victims.
Even the director and the leading actor, it is very likely that no one will pay attention to it in the future, they will not be able to attract investment, and they will not be able to receive fringe characters in the play.
Therefore, it is related to some people's career and future, but no one cares whether Li Changheng is super rich or not.
Does Michael Enzyme need the high box office of this movie to increase its market value, or rely on 15% of its distribution to prolong its life.
Lianmei, which has always had a good relationship with the independent film industry, does it want to rely on this film as the first step in its rise?
Anyway, I'm almost out of work, so I have to work hard.
Since Monday, amidst a large number of praise reports, there have been many criticisms that the film is funny for the sake of being funny, without any logic or art.
Then some actors and directors who have been eliminated by the market jumped out to make their own sense of presence.
But if it's just this topic, let alone Michael and United Artists, even the people of the United States won't care.
But I didn't expect the media to report that Home Alone's box office exceeded 4.3 million hours on Tuesday.
The media in several states in the middle of the United States actually reported that some children were injured because they watched movies and imitated them at home.
In an instant, the topic rate was raised several levels again.
There was even a public good in South Carolina who jumped out to propose a review of whether Home Alone is teaching children in the United States.
This made Michael Enzyme and United Artists have to start paying attention.
Because before the 10-year lawsuit against the Paramount Act began, the volunteers also took the lead in the matter, followed by a series of audits and investigations.
As soon as Barron thought of this, he became nervous.
Fortunately, the person who was about to call Li Changheng was silently thinking about the box office on Tuesday and Wednesday. Compared with Monday, because the number of theaters increased to 1,500, the box office jumped to more than 6 million US dollars.
If the new boss knows this news, he should pay more attention to Lianmei and Home Alone, right?
After all, according to this trend, the 7-day box office in the second week may even exceed 50 million US dollars.
If this is the case, let alone the box office of 100 million US dollars, the box office in the first month may even exceed 150 million US dollars.
After 3 months of screening, 250 million US dollars is not a problem.
If more than 30% of the people who do the second brush, maybe they can break through the $300 million mark.
Li Changheng, who received the call, was in disbelief.
