    Chapter 366: "Independence Day" vs. "Godzilla" Continued Zhang Yi's words were very light, but to those pro-Japanese media, they just felt crazy!  "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang. Is it because you did not regard Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla" as a rival to your company's "Independence Day", so you did not compete with Columbia in terms of publicity?" A reporter  suddenly asked loudly.  And when he asked, everyone remembered that it seemed that the promotion of "Independence Day" was indeed a little weaker than the promotion of "Godzilla"!  "Haha, no matter how overwhelming the publicity is, in the end it still depends on the quality of the film." Zhang Yi smiled and said immediately.  Naturally, he would not say that the publicity of "Independence Day" was not as good as that of "Godzilla". That is because "Independence Day" overshadowed Colombia in terms of publicity. Whenever the media mentions "Godzilla", it will always be compared with "Independence Day".  "Compared.  It also promoted "Independence Day" in disguise.  "Mr. Zhang means that "Independence Day" will win in terms of film quality." A reporter then asked.  "Haha!" Zhang Yi smiled, acquiescing.  "Mr. Schwarzenegger, does your coming to the premiere of "Independence Day" mean that you are more optimistic about this film?" A reporter saw that Zhang Yi had no intention of answering the question, and then asked Schwarzenegger next to him.  .  When Schwarzenegger heard this, he was moved in his heart.  After all, I am also the most popular actor in Hollywood. Now ask yourself, are you just seeing yourself now?  Standing with your own cheap master is really miserable.  "Of course! "Independence Day" is a script written by my master. Have you ever seen who won three Oscars for Best Screenplay? Have you ever seen someone whose scripted movies dominate most of the global box office rankings? I  The script written by the master has never disappointed any film, certainly not this one," Schwarzenegger said excitedly.  Of course, there was a lot of flattery in his words.  Although it is flattery, I have to admit that what he said is the truth.  Film written by Zhang Yi.  Whether it is box office results or awards achievements, it is beyond the reach of others.  And the films he wrote have certainly not disappointed.  What's more, this film was used to snipe Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla", which invested hundreds of millions of dollars. How could it be bad?  Schwarzenegger said eloquently.  Zhang Yi always smiled and said nothing.  Schwarzenegger is the most popular Hollywood actor today, even Tom Hanks, who just won the Oscar for Best Actor, is not as good as him.  Naturally, he also has a huge fan following.  Tom Hanks was naturally invited this time.  However, when asked, he was not as direct as Schwarzenegger, let alone as unscrupulous.  He and Schwarzenegger are both actors, and both of them even have Zhang Yi's imprint.  But Tom Hanks is just because of cooperation.  And Schwarzenegger also has a very close relationship with Zhang Yi in private.  He needs to take sides, but Tom Hanks doesn't.  Of course, since he came to attend the premiere of "Independence Day", he naturally had an attitude.  Both sides were invited, and the other side also offered a huge appearance fee.  But he still chose to go to "Independence Day" which did not give any appearance fee.  ¡°Obviously, he knew he went to the ¡°Godzilla¡± side.  Although he received a good income, it had a great impact on him.  After all, he just won the Oscar for Best Actor thanks to Zhang Yi.  Moreover, "Saving Private Ryan" in which he is now starring is not only written by Zhang Yi, but also produced by Jiying Film Company.  The premieres of both films were star-studded, with almost the same number of celebrities attending.  But there is a qualitative difference.  "Independence Day" relies entirely on personal connections and reputation to attract people.  But "Godzilla" mostly relies on high appearance fees.  ¡°I heard that there are a lot of celebrities going there. It¡¯s not worse than this!¡± Balidile said to Zhang Yi with a smile.  "Oh?" Zhang Yi was a little confused. Now that Columbia Pictures was acquired by the Japanese, it can no longer be compared with the past.  Moreover, Jiying Film Company was fighting with him, and the whole of Hollywood knew about it.  Zhang Yi¡¯s connections in Hollywood are extremely high and extensive.  Not to mention that most of the big names in Hollywood owed him favors during the hijacking case, but Jiying Film Company's own strength and Zhang Yi's ability to create stars are definitely not comparable to those of Columbia Pictures today.  This happens for a reason.  "We invited them, and they invited them. They paid for them. To use a Chinese saying, it's called: the public is pretending to be fat! It is said that the appearance fee is an astonishing amount." For Columbia Pictures, who is so obsessed with face,  Zhang Yi just smiled and said, "If they can afford me an exciting appearance fee, I can come over and support them." Zhang Yi's appearance fee is?Less.  Nobody knows.  The appearance fee that makes him excited is estimated to be an astronomical figure.  Balidile naturally knew that Zhang Yi¡¯s words were just a joke.  "They can afford it, but they won't invite you. Inviting you over is not to cheer, but to play." Balidile said with a smile.  Then he looked to the other side and asked Zhang Yi, "That Will, you hired him to your record company, but let him switch to acting in movies. Isn't it worth the loss?" "His achievements in film and television are definitely better than those in music.  "Big." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "If I can recruit Michael Jackson to the record company, it will be much easier for me to open up the European and American markets." "I heard that this is not impossible with Sony.  The record was not very pleasant," Balidile said with a smile.  "Sony Records? Haha, then dig it over." Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes, then smiled, looked at Balidile, and said, "Find a way to make an appointment for me. I'll meet him first." "That's no problem.  Balidile said with a smile.  The story of "Independence Day" is actually very simple. It is the story of alien invasion and the protagonist stopping the aliens and defending the earth.  The investment in this film was small, certainly relatively small.  With an investment of nearly 80 million, Zhang Yi was very satisfied to be able to shoot such a magnificent scene.  The president of this movie is played by George W. Bush, who is now the president's son, but Bush did not come to support it like he did when Zhang Yi's movie was released last time.  Maybe he was afraid of something.  The film was naturally an unprecedented success. The overwhelming applause at the end showed that the success of this film was certain.  The next day, the media reported on the two films one after another. Although the starting points were different, they were compared subconsciously.  But if you don't know, "Godzilla" will be completely defeated. ? One tells the story of alien invasion, and the other tells the story of monsters entering the city.  One defends the earth, while the other only defends the city.  Furthermore, in terms of the scenes of the two films, although "Godzilla" is very visually stunning, it is somewhat lacking compared to "Independence Day".  Especially the final aerial battle scene in "Independence Day", with flying saucers, fighter planes, and large spaceships.  How could those be compared to a monster?  ?The two investments are exactly the opposite.  "Godzilla" is much higher than "Independence Day".  But with a much higher investment, the products produced are not as good as those with a small investment. This is a judgment call.  Both films are at the forefront of public opinion, and their box office openings were extremely impressive.  Especially "Independence Day", written by Zhang Yi, this is also Zhang Yi's first film after sweeping the Oscars.  With his popularity in North America, the premiere box office directly exceeded 20 million US dollars, which shocked many people.  "Independence Day" is extremely popular and extremely sustainable.  "Godzilla" was equally popular at the beginning, but unfortunately it was not sustainable, especially when it encountered the sniper attack of "Independence Day".  If you have to choose one of the two, the vast majority of people will choose "Independence Day".  ¡°In its first week of release in North America, ¡°Independence Day¡± has grossed more than 9,000 box office, undoubtedly topping the North American box office weekly championship.  However, "Godzilla" was attacked by "Independence Day" and only took 40 million at the box office, which even failed to reach the average of "Independence Day".  What¡¯s even more tragic is that more than half of the 40 million box office was earned in the past few days.  "Independence Day" achieved both box office and critical success, while "Godzilla" failed miserably at both the box office and critical reception.  Comparing the two, "Godzilla" is undoubtedly a complete failure.
