"Super Body" not only performed well in North America and mainland markets, but also showed its super money-making ability in Europe. The number of viewers attracted by France alone reached 480,000 in a single week, and the box office in a single week reached 2.88 million US dollars. This was entirely based on the foundation laid by "Twilight". In addition to France, Russia also became the main center for "Super Body" to attract money, and it actually won 16.6 million US dollars in a week of release. This was a result that even Shao Yingxiong did not expect. He had never had such a good result in Russia, and this result also became the best in Europe!

Don’t forget that this is a movie with Fan Bingbing the leading role. It is not easy to make such a movie with a profound Chinese mark to set up such a box office in the Russians. Except that it is really not easy, Shao Yingxiong really doesn’t know what to say.: 3w.

Of course, this also proves that Shao Yingxiong's popularity is gradually expanding around the world. In the past, his films only exceeded one million dollars in a single country in Europe.

As for other European markets, such as the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, etc., there has not been much improvement. The movie "Super Body" has landed in 54 markets outside North America, China, France, and Russia. A total of 25.5 million yuan in a box office for "Super Body" in two weeks.

This box office result instantly pushed Shao Yingxiong's box office results to a new high. In addition to Asia, the box office results of "Super Body" worldwide reached a high box office of 125.58 million yuan.

You should know that the ticket price in the North American market is 6-15 US dollars per ticket. The 82 million box office record in the first two weeks of the North American market proves that at least nearly 10 million people in the United States have entered the theater. No matter what kind of movies these people are going to see what kind of movies Shao Yingxiong will come out to compete with the Hollywood media, or for the film critic George, the scattered film review, in short, Shao Yingxiong has completely made his name in the North American box office market. The movies he directed have the hope of breaking 100 million for the first time in the North American market.

"Shao! It has exceeded 100 million. The box office results in North America in the third week were counted, with a box office of US$30.3 million. Currently, the total box office results in North America have reached 112.3 million. This is the third week. At present, major theaters are increasing their number of scenes. The screening volume has been maximized. From this point of view, we can guarantee that it will appear on the big screen for eight weeks. The box office of North America can exceed 200 million."

In MGM's office, Harry Sloan was excited and stomped his feet. As long as the movie achieved impressive results, no one in Hollywood would say that he was a waste. Because it was his joint efforts and Yingxiong Shao who pushed MGM to a new peak.

Shao Yingxiong lit a cigarette for himself in the office of MGM. He knew that the movie "Super Body" was profitable because no one had such unique conditions as him. At least with two companies, MGM and Hero Huayi, he could turn this movie into a local movie in both places instead of an imported movie. This is like a brand produced by Hero Huayi in China and a brand produced by MGM in North America. This is why many Hollywood movies have to be added after 2013.

The main reason for investment in China's film companies is that the imported films in the Chinese market really can't take away much money. As long as Chinese people participate, the film will change its layering method. Uh, some people are also investigated by relevant departments after they are messed up, but for Shao Yingxiong, this method of stealing the sky and changing the sun will never be found out. The money for the acquisition of MGM was given by Zhongying. Could it be that Zhongying, who joined hands with the Film Bureau and Radio and Television to investigate the films of its own company, and then led to the media to kill their relatives for justice? This is simply impossible.

With the normal box office distribution of China and the normal box office distribution of North American market, the momentum of "Super Body" will definitely give Sanye a shot of heart-warming agent.

Bee, bee, bee.

When Shao Yingxiong was about to say a few words to Harry Sloan, the phone called. He picked up the phone and responded: "I am Shao Yingxiong..." The voice from the other end of the phone came: "Good job."

It's the third master!

"Xiao Shao, your "Super Body" proves that I'm not wrong with me, but "Super Body" is a joint venture between you and MGM. MGM does not account for much of the box office. Below, should I think of a way for MGM? I always look at a mess, and my face is not good." The third master didn't say much, but he still made a clear idea: "5 billion US dollars is not a decimal, and many people are staring at it. If you don't get some results, there should be other voices." The third master told the truth.

Shao Yingxiong heard it, and the third master was anxious: "Don't worry, Chairman Han, "Super Body" is offline, so you should laugh."

After saying this, Shao Yingxiong turned his head to look at Harry Sloan and said, "Harry, I know that I shouldn't say such things so early at this time, but how long do you think MGM can maintain this company with loopholes alone by making money by making money?"

Harry came to report the good news, and he could not guess that what Shao Yingxiong said to him was completely different: "You mean?"

"Yes." Shao Yingxiong didn't hide it: "I think there are too many leaks on the MGM ship. Just say that there are only souvenir shops in MGM, but are we still selling things? Who do you see that you buy James Bond's toy pistols to show off?"

"Shao, you may not know Hollywood. If you cut off our souvenir store, you can indeed save a lot of consumption, but our souvenir production chain will be broken!" Harry Sloan explained: "Without the souvenir store, the souvenirs we produce have no place to sell. You don't want to see all the peripheral products we produce enter the product stores of other companies, right?"

Shao Yingxiong said fiercely: "Of course not!"

Harry Sloan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to cut off the entire souvenir production chain!"

"What!"

In the surprise of Harry Sloan, Shao Yingxiong continued: "Not only souvenirs, I have to rent out the DVD distribution rights!!"

"You're crazy!!!"

Shao Yingxiong shook his head and said, "I'm not crazy, Harry, have you ever thought about how much profit our DVD distribution rights can bring to us every year? How much energy do we invest in this? In addition to deducting these profits from labor, water, electricity, and production costs, is the money that can be left in our hands worth putting in such a lot of effort? That's right. I admit that the movie library is MGM's biggest wealth, but I'm not going to sell the movie library, but I want to rent out the audio-visual product rights of the movie library. Within a certain period of time, we give up some of the profit space that can attract people. At that time, we don't have to waste time paying attention, don't hire people, or produce, and the rental fee you get is pure income. Do you understand?"

"Hollywood is not the English football world, don't hold on to tradition. Now, what we have to do is to cheer MGM up as soon as possible."

After saying these words, Shao Yingxiong walked to Harry Sloan in the office and said, "Not only these, MGM's special effects department will also be disbanded. If we want to raise it, we will only support the best team. When the box office of "Super Body" is credited, you will eat ro-fx studio in the name of MGM. I think MGM alone can provide them with advanced equipment in the world that can be comparable to Industrial Light and Magic, which is enough to attract them. In addition, half of these people stay at MGM, and while cultivating talents for us, they continue to recruit special effects teachers with sufficient technical support. The other half, I will send to China, and I will also bring a batch of equipment back. The money...MGM and I will pay half of the people and equipment to China, and I will be responsible for the people and equipment to go to China."

Harry Sloan heard Shao Yingxiong's ambition. Shao Yingxiong was not going to give up MGM, but wanted to make MGM a makeover. Cut off all the departments that were dragging their legs in MGM, and then leave a clean film production team and special effects department that assisted the team. In this way, MGM has indeed shrunk, leaving only three important positions in studios, special effects, and film production. Even MGM's film library was rented out and it could be taken back when the time came. As for the souvenir chain, it has no meaning at all. Its existence is at most able to tell everyone who comes to "MGM is still a big company." But is these words useful just by souvenir shops?

Let’s see how much sales value the souvenirs made by Warner in some movies is. The two series of "Batman" and "Harry Potter" can make peripheral products profitable. Paramount also has the most popular theme of "Transformers" recently. Where is MGM?

The Oscar was the Academy Award of the School of Film Arts and Sciences founded by MGM. This is why the once glorious saying "I want to win an Oscar? Just join MGM." Let alone the Oscars now, "007 Series is Old", "Terminator" series is gone without Uncle Arnold, and it makes...

"Okay, okay, I admit that what you said makes sense. Although I am very dissatisfied and even think that this is a humiliation to MGM. I have to admit that after you cut off these departments, MGM's annual consumption will be greatly reduced."

Harry Sloan sighed helplessly. This is not the problem that MGM has reduced his status after his acquisition. He dared not refute Shao Yingxiong's question, but Shao Yingxiong's statement is indeed correct: "Shao, but we can't save it, right? You have to have a new plan, otherwise you still want to wait for me to continue to grab the upcoming movies for you next year? The last movie of the "Source Code" series will be completely completed by the end of this year. Even if the new movie doesn't have to be planned so early, we have to have a direction first, right?"

Shao Yingxiong looked at Harry Sloan and said, "I've thought about it long ago."

"We have two directions next year. First, the revitalization series of movies. The theme of "007" must not be wasted. We must select the latest James Bond; second, keep it confidential for the time being, and see how much money we have at the time."

Shao Yingxiong has a lot of opinions about James Bond in "The Great War with Casino Royale" in history. This is to let a man who violates his melancholy eyes and looks wear a suit. How could he have a little 007 temperament? The most important thing is that the plot is still a mess!

"007" is a long-lived and popular history. Even the girls of all generations have become a hot topic in the current trend. He can't figure out why Colombia was so stupid that he wanted to harm this series after MGM fell?

Yes, the new 007 is indeed low enough when casting, so you can’t just find someone to play, right? Is there no one in Hollywood who can play 007?

I won’t talk about the handsome guy who is as handsome as Xiao Li. Jude Law, a handsome and melancholy actor who also has a slight literary style, will never be boycotted by a large number of fans of "007"!

"I'm going to use Jude Law."

When Harry Sloan heard this, his eyes lit up. Jude Law, a British man, is impeccable in terms of his hometown and accent, and his key acting skills are absolutely enough. There are a large number of female fans around the world, which is the benefit. If Jude Law wants to play the leading role, there is no problem that it is difficult to find someone to be a supporting role for Yingxiong Shao: "Where is the director?"

"Nolan!"

There are not many directors who can make a superhero movie like "Batman" with new meanings instead of simple invincible monster-shooting. With its origin, rise and ending, there are not many stories, but Nolan did it. He even wanted to discuss something in the trilogy with Warner. Although Nolan was a bit of a conditional idea when filming the "Batman" trilogy, he had to put a "Deadly Magic" in a movie, he had to put a "Inception" in a movie, and he had to put a "Star Crossing" in a movie, which was a bit of a movie for you, and he was making one for yourself, using the movie for you for investment, and then shooting the movie he wanted to make. But Nolan's skills are there, and it's a guilty to destroying masters.

Shao Yingxiong believes that as long as Nolan promises to film "007", it will definitely make this series of movies come back to life. The key now is how to talk about Nolan.

...

"MGM has made new moves after Shao Yingxiong took over while the popularity of "Super Body" was popular, but this new move is not very good news. First, all souvenir stores were liquidated and settled. It is said that the next scope is to completely close souvenir stores across the United States; secondly, MGM fired all employees of the special effects department; finally, MGM announced that the audio-visual products rights of 4,000 movies in the film library will be rented out soon... Could it be that MGM still cannot support the situation after the entry of Chinese funds, and is about to cause a new round of turmoil?"

"Latest news, MGM has begun to lay off a large number of employees. Employees have lost their jobs after receiving due compensation. At present, the manager of the former special effects department is leading all employees of the original special effects department to protest downstairs of MGM."

"Latest news, all employees of MGM Souvenir Store were involved in the protesters..."

"Latest news, Shao Yingxiong personally came forward to negotiate with the fired MGM employee representatives. It is reported that Shao Yingxiong calmed the protests of the march at the cost of each person paying two more months of salary..."

"We don't know whether it is good or bad news for MGM if Shao did this... Can this gentleman interview you? Are you an employee of MGM? I just saw you in the protest lineup downstairs of MGM."

During the interview with the camera, the reporter found a man willing to accept the interview, who was about 40 years old.

"Yes, I used to be an MGM employee."

"Why did Shao Yingxiong carry out large-scale layoffs?"

"It is to reduce the burden on MGM." The employee shrugged: "We all love MGM. If Shao Yingxiong is really to reduce the burden, we are willing to leave after giving enough liquidated damages. However, if Shao Yingxiong gives us the position after we leave, then I will come back!"
