Chapter 414： Surprised! Surprise! (1/2)
”Give me a special version of” Firefly ”two-disc!”, ”That's mine! That's mine! Four-disc limited edition of” Firefly ”, fast !!” ......
In a small audio-visual store in Los Angeles, a group of long-awaited young people swarmed in and queued up in a long queue early in the morning when they opened their doors to do business. Everyone was either excitedly discussing or holding Mobile phone fiddle, the scene is very lively. Today, Saturday, November 5th, the DVD versions of ”Firefly” are officially on the shelf! This is a big day for fans of **** StarCraft cowboys and fans.
In order to be able to see the behind-the-scenes tidbits this weekend, in order to purchase a limited edition, it was only the least worthwhile behavior to come over early in the morning, many enthusiasts rubbed their hands and said, ”The Big Bang Theory” is ”for glory war”.
I saw that the shelves of new films in the movie area of the audio-visual store were filled with rows of beautifully packed CDs, such as ”World War”, ”Batman Wartime”, ”Smith and Mrs”, ”Panda”, etc., in the eyes of fans , The ”Firefly” discs with different covers of different versions are shining brightly. The single-disc widescreen version and full-screen version priced at $ 19.95, the two-disc special edition at 25.95, the three-disc collector's edition at 31.95, the limited edition at 49.95 ... … Various, cheap and affordable! Orders from online malls such as Amazon have long piled up, and limited editions are naturally sold out of stock.
One hand took a box of ”Firefly” from the shelf, and then the salesperson took out the stock of the warehouse to fill it up. The middle-aged owner of the fat audio-visual store had long expected that ”Firefly” would sell hot, of course! However, he still didn't expect to sell so fast, faster than ”Star Wars Episode 3” which was released on the 1st a few days ago. It was not finished in one morning. The first batch of 500 sets in all versions were sold out Now! Looking at the still long queue, the fat boss apologized aloud: ”Everyone who wants to buy the DVD of” Firefly ”, sorry ...”
”Oh--!” Before he finished saying a word, the sigh was already full of audio-visual stores, and everyone complained, and many people were very depressed. A few months ago, watching ”Firefly” in the theater slowed others down. It ’s too late to buy a DVD! Someone couldn't help but scolded: ”Zhenyang **** **** !!!” A young woman with a sad face said in frustration: ”I thought I could see the magical Yang this weekend.” Another girl of high school age said: ”Tian Ah! I knew I had ordered from Amazon. ”
Their words resonated with a lot of young people. The special configuration introduction on the DVD from the special edition included ”Exclusively deleted scenes introduced by Wang Yang.”, ”Martial Arts Training Highlights starring”, ”Special Effect Production” and many studio highlights. Wait, the fans want to see the scenes that were deleted by the clips, and the fans want to see the tidbits and gossip, especially Wang Yang ’s heroic work on the set ... I can enjoy the classic ”Firefly” and I want to watch it several times. I have watched the Battle of New Shanxi several times, and now everything is lost!
”” Firefly ”has been sold out for the time being.” The fat man said the whole sentence completely. He wiped his forehead. When the team quickly dispersed, the store was about to become deserted. He shouted angrily: ”Monday ... Tomorrow! Sunday! I think there will be new goods when the time comes, will you come again tomorrow? ”
I thought this store was smaller and the competition will not be so fierce. Who knows it sells so fast! Some people are still willing to wait one more day, turn around and sign up to order at the night counter; more people do not want to wait for a long time, and walk out of the store without looking back, while discussing plans with friends: ”Let ’s go to Wal-Mart to see, I hope There are also collector's editions. ”,” Come on, you have made me miss the limited edition. ”,” Hush! I know there is a very remote shop. ”...
There is a large row of empty shelves in Wal-Mart's audio-visual area, and past customers are distressed to find that they can't find Captain Marr and others! Damn, I didn't even leave a box of regular version!
”Let go!” In another audio-visual store, two male movie fans grabbed one box of the ”Firefly” collector's edition and pulled each other: ”This is what I saw first!” I got it! ”,” Do you want to be repaired?! ”...
In addition to being bought and collected without unpacking, the fans of countless fans who bought it immediately opened the box happily and quickly returned home to enjoy it! The movie's reputation and customer satisfaction have always been very high. As an epoch-making blockbuster blockbuster blockbuster film, the price of ”Firefly” is excellent for both single and four discs. Will disappoint!
This weekend, Wang Yang appeared on the TV and computer screens of countless fan fans. He sat on the chair of the post-editing room with his back to the long computer desk and smiled: ”HEY, guys! Thank you for buying the DVD, and It ’s not on Y0UTUBE. Why, it ’s Y0UTUBE now? Impossible, I ordered it to be blocked ... cough! Welcome to the editing room of ”Firefly”, now I will take you to see what scenes we have deleted? ”
Almost completely out of stock! Fans and audiences across North America were once again upset by ”Firefly” and sold crazy! The first week of November 5-6 (end on Sunday) sold 10 million sets in just two days, the first day of 8.5 million sets broke the 7 million sets of ”Spider-Man”; the second week of November 6-13 No. 3.93 million sets (-60.7%) were sold, and there is no doubt that the sales champion of the week, 13.93 million sets in 9 days, the total sales reached 320 million US dollars!
Of course, the decline in DVD sales is much faster than the box office. In the first three weeks, I basically did 60% of the total sales in the next few years. It will take more than 150 weeks for three or four years to sell another 5 million sets, and each version The price of DVD will be gradually reduced, and the total sales volume of 5 million sets is less than 100 million. However, the current strong performance of ”Firefly” in the golden period has made the flame film full of enthusiasm, plus the income of VHS video tapes, related toys and TV broadcasting rights, all is flying in the sky ...
Some DVD reviews with the fresh red tomato logo also surfaced, and Mike Lang of DVDSleuth. Scored 4.5 / 5: ”Saying” Firefly ”is a classic is just an understatement, the film has too many stories Achievements, performance achievements, technical achievements, but in fact, it includes everything. ”Mike Sampson of the DVD clinic also scored 4.5 / 5:” This is a very worthy collection of DVDs. I believe you have heard too much about the movie itself. , Its special configuration is fascinating and interesting, and really can't be missed. (Three-Disc Collector's Edition) ”Dan Goldwaser scored a perfect score:” There is a strong signal here that you may have to wait twenty years before you can In ”Firefly”, if you are on the verge of hesitation to buy, act now. ”...

It may be available when it is fully painted. 650 million; in the overseas market, in addition to some IMAX theaters selling tickets, Japan, which contributed 158 million US dollars (18.3 billion yen), has suspense. Due to movies like ”Firefly” that hit 20 billion box office It usually takes more than 40 weeks for the screening to be finalized. Now it is only the 16th week, so it is difficult to say at the Japanese box office, but its overseas box office is 1.142 billion and the global box office is 1.791 billion. Record.

The harvested fruits are not very good. The three indicators of rotten tomatoes are 36% / 26% 56%. In the first week, they only had 48.74 million box office (the average single store is 13,341).
