In the United States, in a skyscraper. Chris was working hard in the office when suddenly the door was violently kicked open. A middle-aged man with a full beard rushed in angrily.

Chris frowned, "Pete, don't you know that knocking on the door when you enter is the most basic courtesy?"

Pete is the second largest antique and general manager of Locke, second only to Chris.

Hearing Chris's words at this moment, Pete said angrily, "I don't think I need to be polite to you. Chris, let me ask you, who gave you the right to let you release a Chinese film in our company's theaters? And it was released on a large scale? Even in order to make room for this film, you arbitrarily reduced the proportion of other films on the schedule, and your behavior seriously damaged the company's interests, you are acting arbitrarily!"

Chris glanced at Pete and said lightly: "Pete, I'm the CEO of the company, do I have to get your approval to do anything?" In addition, Locke Company is what I have been operating step by step to this point, whether it has damaged the interests of the company, I know better than you in my heart." You don't have to talk too much. ”

Pete was even more angry: "You know better than me? Who in the company doesn't know that you lick a Chinese person every day? But now you are actually selling the company's resources for the sake of the other party. I'm telling you, you're going to pay for it. Your actions will bring at least tens of millions of dollars to the theater, and you don't listen to the persuasion of others, and you don't care about the company's interests for your own selfishness. For such a serious dereliction of duty on your part, I will apply for a board meeting to remove you from the position of chairman!"

Hehe.

Chris had a mocking look on his face.

Have you finally spoken what you really think in your heart?

Remove me from the chairmanship?

Chris sneered, "Pete, I know how to run a company better than you. "This Man is from Earth" is destined to be a good movie. Even if I'm not a fan of Master Wang Huan, I will introduce this movie to its theaters. So, put away that little bit of your mind. If you don't understand my behavior, please go to Rotten Tomatoes to see what the audience has to say about this movie, maybe you will be more rational after watching it. ”

Pete's expression became gloomy.

He sneered: "What is the evaluation of Rotten Tomatoes? Chris, I'm afraid you forgot." In the past five days, "This Man is from Earth" has only been released in ten small theaters that are not well-known, and the audience who went to watch it was basically all Chinese. In other words, ninety percent of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are left by Chinese. Can you expect to judge whether a movie meets the tastes of North American audiences based on Chinese evaluations?

With that, Pete threw the door and left.

Chris's eyes narrowed slightly, staring in the direction of the door.

After half a ring, he suddenly showed an intriguing smile: "Master Wang Huan likes to use bets to clear opponents, maybe this time, I can also learn from ......"

......

......

Chinese.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhao shook hands and smiled brightly.

"Director Zhao, there will be a period later. ”

"Lawyer Wang, I think we'll meet again soon. ”

"I think so, too. ”

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

The two of them each picked up an agreement stamped with an official seal and had legal effect, and laughed.

Wait for Lawyer Wang to leave.

The secretary hurriedly walked in: "Mr. Zhao, I just got the news that Wang Huan got the distribution channel in North America, and "This Man from Earth" began to be released on a small scale in North America. ”

Director Zhao's surprise was not trivial: "What? Is the news reliable? How many theaters have been released, and how is the box office?"

"There are more than 300 theaters that have been released at the same time, and the box office has been released on the first day, which is $260,000, and the attendance rate is 8.5%. ”

Director Zhao's originally shocked expression suddenly relaxed after hearing the data: "More than 300 theaters were released at the same time, and the box office on the first day was only more than 200,000 US dollars? Equivalent to more than 1 million yuan? Haha, Wang Huan is really capable, and he was able to find a theater in North America to release this movie, but unfortunately, European and American countries have never been interested in our Chinese films, does he think that he can change the preferences of Europeans and Americans? I have taken this 100 million!"

......

......

January 31.

It was the last day of January.

At the headquarters of Locke, Pete took the box office of the first day of "This Man is from Earth" and looked at Chris with a sneer on his face.

Chris said lightly: "Pete, it's only the first day of release." ”

Pete sneered: "It's not the first day, it's the sixth day." ”

Chris said, "Really? ”

Pete said: "Please remember what you said yesterday, when the box office is not up to standard, you must take the initiative to resign as chairman." ”

Chris said: "Then please remember what you said, if the box office exceeds 10 million, you resign from all your positions." ”

Pete scoffed and turned to leave.

Can a Chinese movie reach $10 million at the box office in North America? And the movie has hit the streets in China?

Pete felt that when he returned, he would be ready to take over as chairman.

......

this day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the theater opened again.

Because of the poor attendance of "This Man from Earth" yesterday, the film schedule has not changed, and it still maintains 5.6% of the film schedule.

Bella is a ticket seller at Locke's theaters.

Glancing at the movies released today, Bella sighed in her heart: "I really don't understand what the company thinks, but it actually compressed the schedule of "Crazy Detective" to less than 10%, and then added a Chinese movie schedule. And yesterday's attendance rate of this Chinese film was obviously pitiful, but today it has not lowered the film schedule. Do these bosses have water in their heads? Although I think Master Wang Huan's piano plays very well, but the movie is not necessarily good? Could it really be that there is an ass deal between Master Wang Huan and Chris as the media speculates? Oh God, it's unimaginable!"

He shook his head and started selling tickets.

The long line began to make an uproar.

"Two copies of "This Man is from Earth", thank you. ”

"A movie ticket for Master Wang Huan. ”

"Three "This Man is from Earth". ”

"This Man is from Earth, seats in the last row, hurry. ”

One voice after another.

Bella had a shocked expression on her face as she typed out the ticket.

What's going on today?

Could it be that they are all the sailors found by Master Wang Huan?

Oh, my God!

Most of the people in line are all viewers who watched the movie "This Man is from Earth".

Unbeknownst to Bella, this scene also appeared in most of the other more than 300 theaters.

erupted, and so without warning......
