The dawn sun pierced the darkness, and the Purple Star Manor gradually woke up.

The maids who got up early to work came to the hall to clean up, and saw several people lying on the sofa.

The little princess of the Rockefeller family slept very sweetly on Devin Morgan's legs, and the saliva that flowed from the corners of her mouth stained Devon Morgan's legs.

Although the housekeeper Dani and President Nancy each slept on one side of the sofa, Miss Dani's legs were really long, and sleeping on the side of the sofa could also put her legs on President Nancy's small belly.

Lord Darren Morgan is like a quiet beautiful man, with a pillow in his arms, no snoring, no grinding of teeth, and no drooling, and he is the one of all who still maintains an aristocratic demeanor even when he is asleep.

Bite......

A sudden ringing of the telephone startled the servants who were carefully surveying everyone's sleeping faces.

Ariana heard the ringing and got up in a daze and grabbed the phone.

"Uh-huh......!"

"Uh-huh......!"

"Good ......!"

"Got it!"

After a few words, Ariana hung up the phone in a daze, returned to the couch with her eyes closed, found Devin Morgan's legs and continued to lie down.

But as if he remembered something, he suddenly sat up and opened his mouth to scream.

"Ah......h

"Ariana, you're crazy, what's the hell howling in the morning?"

"What's wrong? Was it a fire or a theft?"

"Do you want people to sleep well in the morning?"

Ariana's voice woke up all the people in the living room, and everyone rubbed their eyes in a daze, denouncing Ariana's disturbing behavior.

"The box office statistics of "Forrest Gump" are out!"

"17.62 million. ”

"We broke the ...... record!"

"Ah...... No, I'm going to tell John the good news!"

After Ariana finished speaking, she left the confused crowd behind, and ran to the second floor like a gust of wind, towards John's bedroom.

And after she left, the remaining four people also came clearly.

"Did I hear me right?17.62 million?" Darren Morgan looked at everyone in surprise: "Could it be Ariane's prank?"

"She shouldn't be playing a prank on this. Devon Morgan got up and picked up the phone and dialed.

"Forrest Gump's midnight show has been counted?"

"How much?"

"Hmm!"

"Hmm!"

"Well, I see, hard work. ”

Devon Morgan chatted with the other end of the phone for nearly 10 minutes before hanging up the phone, and after hanging up the phone, she smiled slightly, and looked at several people who asked her for verification: "We broke the record, the box office of "Forrest Gump" at midnight is indeed 17.62 million. ”

"Yay, that's great!"

Darren Morgan shook his fist and excitedly went to find champagne.

Dani and Nancy were surprised when they heard this, what is the concept of 17.62 million? It is twice the original box office record holder of the midnight show "Jurassic Park", which is simply incredible.

"How could the box office of Forrest Gump's midnight show be so high?"

Nancy was puzzled, "Forrest Gump" only has 3,200 screens, while "Jurassic Park" is 4,500 screens, so it stands to reason that the box office of "Forrest Gump" at midnight is unlikely to exceed "Jurassic Park", but the fact is that it exceeds, and it exceeds much, so this is completely unreasonable.

"Forrest Gump" exploded at midnight last night, 90% of the theaters in North America were added, and some theaters in the center of major cities even added three shows at most, and the last midnight show didn't end until half past five in the morning, which is why the statistics were just delivered. Devon Morgan told what he knew.

"No wonder!" Nancy suddenly realized.

"Jurassic Park" has more screens than "Forrest Gump", but there are no shows.

Although "Jurassic Park" has 4,500 screens, it is only shown once at midnight on each screen, and although "Forrest Gump" is only 3,200, 90% of the screens are played twice, and some even play three times, so "Forrest Gump" actually has 6,400 screens, and most of them are full.

So it's normal for the box office to surpass "Jurassic Park".

"And it's not just last night's midnight big hit, even today's daytime box office may also be a big hit. Devin Morgan smiled and released another big news: "Last night, many fans bought a lot of tickets after watching the movie, the least one bought two, and the most one booked 100 screenings in a row." ”

"Ouch......" Nancy gasped.

Devon Morgan's news had too much impact on her, she knew the film and television circle, but because she knew too much, she understood the horror of this data better than everyone present.

"I didn't expect the Super Bowl commercials and the short films we showed to be so powerful!"

Although "Forrest Gump" was improved by John, the quality of the movie has to be seen to know, so there is no word-of-mouth that caused the box office to explode at midnight, only it may be publicity.

And the promotion of "Forrest Gump" is really well done.

The first is to show off in front of an audience of more than 100 million at the Super Bowl.

Secondly, there was another wave of show at the establishment of the Borderless Foundation, and because of the presence of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Children's Fund, the First Lady of the United States, and the Mayor of New York, the credibility of the Borderless Foundation was greatly improved, and people's doubts were dispelled.

Finally, there is a short film that will be broadcast on major television stations before the midnight screening, a credible foundation and a tragic short film, and the final effect is naturally one plus one is greater than two.

Of course, the main reason for this effect is that there is a suitable soil for growth.

U.S. citizens are among the most philanthropic of any country in the world, donating hundreds of billions of dollars each year, and the tax office is exempted from hundreds of billions of dollars.

And donors are not just wealthy, the vast majority are actually ordinary earners.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics once conducted a survey and found that the lowest-income American households generally donate 4.3% of their income to charity, while the richest families give only 2.1% of their income.

So in the United States, both poor and rich people will do public welfare, because this is their tradition, and it is also a quality that mainstream society values.

Even if you want to go to a first-class university, you must have done volunteer work and contributed to the public welfare, otherwise you can only go to a second-rate university.

This sounds incredible, but it is true, and the reason is simple: almost all of the top universities in the United States are private schools, and most of their income depends on social donations, so applicants must also do public welfare.

So in such a happy land that is keen on public welfare, public welfare films like "Forrest Gump" naturally break the ground and thrive.

If you change it somewhere else, the effect is not so great.
