We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Today in 1984, or two thousand years ago, Hollywood did not have a Christmas period, and it did not pay attention to this period. Generally, the movies released during this period were small productions or films competing for the Olympics.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are very close. During this time, beautiful Chinese people usually buy gifts for family and friends, and a large number of students are busy with final exams. Around Christmas, there is an explosion of tourism, which is really considered as the prime time for movies. The period was only two weeks, which seemed a bit too crowded.

However, the small number of moviegoers does not mean that no one is watching the movie. In addition, there are basically no family movies and blockbusters during this period. If one or two movies can dominate the box office during this period, the box office data will definitely be impressive.

It is considered a good time for Jackie Chan's Rush Hour to be released during this time, and it can also be regarded as Disney's test of the Christmas time.

If a movie starring a Hong Kong Islander can be successful in this period, it means that there is still much potential for this period.

On the weekend before Christmas, everyone is preparing various gifts for the coming of Christmas, and theaters across the United States have also begun to enter a period of depression.

In a theater in Boston, the small theater was not even half full, which shows how poor the number of moviegoers was.

Sitting in the front row near the middle, Wall kept stuffing popcorn into his mouth while waiting for the movie to start.

Bill, who came with him, drank Coke and looked at the crowd around him. If there was a hot girl, his eyes would stay for a few seconds until the girl sat down.

"I just don't understand why I want to watch a movie starring an Asian." Looking back, Bill complained a little about the choice of companion.

"Are you asking me to watch Beverly Cop with you again, which I have already watched three times? Or should I watch those stinky and long feature films that can make me sleep several times? At least this movie Eddie Mo Fei is also one of the leading actors, isn’t she?”

Beverly Cop was released during the Thanksgiving holiday. This movie, which cost only 15 million US dollars, blinded everyone's eyes.

It has been the box office champion for four consecutive weeks, and the cumulative North American box office has exceeded 140 million US dollars. All media believe that it has the ability to hit the North American box office champion this year.

Eddie Murphy became famous through this movie and was dubbed a new generation comedy master.

Perhaps Wall used Eddie Murphy's name to convince Bill, at least he didn't complain anymore before the movie started.

As the film began and the plot progressed, everyone present including Bill was deeply attracted by the film.

Jackie Chan's kung fu and Eddie Murphy's antics made the audience feel that the two were a match made in heaven. After the film ended, there was applause and cheers in the small theater.

"Cool, did you see that Asian guy's kung fu? It's like Bruce Lee can do anything, it's really cool."

After Wall finished speaking, he saw that Bill had left and quickly chased after him.

"Hey, I'm sharing the plot with you. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Bill kept walking, turned to look at Wall and said, "I think it's better for us to discuss while watching a movie, what do you think? And this time I'll treat you."

"cool".

Disney Headquarters, Jackie Chan has been running here every morning for the past two days. He wants to know the box office performance of his first movie in Hollywood as soon as possible, especially after knowing that the movie has had a good start.

On Friday, Rush Hour took in $11 million at the box office on its first day of release. This box office has ensured that the movie will make a lot of money, because the production budget of Rush Hour was only a few million dollars, and Disney is also very concerned about this. surprise.

On Saturday, Rush Hour once again grossed US$1237 million at the box office, retaining its title as the daily box office champion for two consecutive days.

This time, not only Disney, but all of Hollywood are paying attention to this Hong Kong boy, wondering if he will become the next Bruce Lee.

Today is Monday, as usual, Jackie Chan ran early in the morning and came to Disney headquarters.

He ran because he regarded it as exercise, and another thing was that he found that some people recognized him in the past two days and asked for his autograph.

It's a pity that he didn't bring a pen with him at the time and only took photos with fans as a souvenir.

"Morning, Jack."

"Morning, Miss Janice".

"Same old, coffee?"

"thanks".

Janice is Wells' secretary, and Jackie Chan has been looking for Wells these past two days.

As for Eisner, he has taken his family on a skiing vacation to Colorado.

The Anschutz family has several ski resort projects in Colorado, and Luo Nianzhong bought a high-end small one with him.

In addition to the Luo family who will use it themselves in the future, the entire Far Eastern Department’s senior management can use it, which is a bonus.

"How early, Jack."

Wells had already arrived before the coffee came.

"Good morning, Mr. Wells."

Standing up and saying hello first, Jackie Chan said sheepishly, "I mainly want to know the box office of Rush Hour as soon as possible. After all, this is my first Hollywood movie, so Mr. Wells hopes you understand."

"Hahahaha, I understand, every actor who comes to Hollywood to pursue their dreams is like this.

In fact what I'm saying is, you've succeeded, haven't you?

This movie can have a minimum of $6000 million at the North American box office, and for the cost of production, you've achieved a great success."

Seeing Janice coming over with coffee, Wells ordered, "Janice, bring me a cup of coffee too, and help me see if yesterday's box office data has been delivered."

"Okay, Mr. Wells."

Janice left, and Wells turned to Jackie Chan and said, "Come on, kid, come to my office and wait, don't forget your coffee."

The two of them didn't have to wait for too long. A few minutes later, Janice walked in with coffee in one hand and documents in the other.

"Here are yesterday's box office statistics, and your unsweetened latte. If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."

"Thanks". Wells and Janice, who turned to leave, thanked them, picked up the documents, and started reading.

When Wells was reading the document, Jackie Chan kept paying attention to his expression, surprised, confused, and even glanced at himself. Jackie Chan didn't know whether it was good or bad, and was very nervous.

Finally, Welles closed the file and smiled, "Jack, I want to say that I am surprised by the box office performance of Rush Hour. It seems that we are planning a second film."

Facing Jackie Chan's expectant eyes, Wells nodded affirmatively, "Yes, the box office is likely to explode, exceeding all of our expectations."

1698 million, this is the box office data on Sunday during peak hour.

Normally, a movie's box office is the highest on Saturday, but will decline somewhat on Sunday.

However, during the peak period, it rose against the trend, and the increase was not small.

It’s not that there is no such situation, but there is really no such large increase against the trend. It only happened in ancient times.

This shows that the reputation of this movie is very good. Through the promotion from moviegoers to moviegoers, a large number of curious fans walked into the cinema to find out.

Looking at it now, in this Christmas season where there are no blockbusters, it is not surprising at all to win a box office that surprises everyone.

"According to the latest predictions from the forecasting department, the North American box office of this movie may exceed US$1.2 million. With your box office influence in Asia, there is no problem in the global box office exceeding US$ million.

It seems that we have to increase publicity expenses and increase promotion."

"Really?" With a global box office of US$200 million, Jackie Chan was unhappy that it was fake.

"So I said we should prepare a script and plan to shoot the second part. Just like 007, a story about a super policeman from Hong Kong and a funny police officer from a beautiful country joining forces to save the world. I am optimistic about this IP."

"That's great. Don't worry, Mr. Wells, I will definitely go all out to create this series."

Jackie Chan quickly assured that this meant that his Dragon Film Company was about to take a big step forward.

Although Rush Hour was co-produced by Oriental Film and Television and Disney, the martial arts team in it were members of his family class. The success of the movie meant that his family class became famous in Hollywood, including himself.

Not only Disney, but other Hollywood giants and media have obtained this data.

Most film critics and related people thought the same as Welles, this is another popcorn movie that can make many sequels like 007.

Especially considering that the copyright of 007 is also in the hands of Disney, many fans are wondering whether Disney will let 007 and the Traffic Brothers have a linkage.

Traffic Brothers is the name given to Jackie Chan and Eddie Murphy by North American movie fans, because the English name Rush Hour means traffic rush hour in English.

At the same time, the success of this film also marks the official start of the export of Luo Nianzhong's Hong Kong culture to revitalize Hong Kong to the world.
