Chapter 356: Charter
The three Tussauds saw the crowd in the hall applauding them, and left the theater with a stream of ribbons on their faces.
Then everyone who saw a large handful of ribbons in their hands would applaud, and the more they held it, the longer and more intense the applause became.
And such an atmosphere is easy to make people fight, especially those who have a little bit of net worth to buy more and more in the end, just like Franklin in his wallet was picked up, and he didn't care at all, and some people even bought 100 in one go.
Of course, this behavior was also enjoyed by the most intense applause, and just as the crowd was applauding desperately, a theater in New York's Fifth Avenue AMC, which was no worse than the theater in Los Angeles, lined up at the ticket counter after midnight and began to buy tickets frantically.
"Hello, how many seats are there in the largest hall of your theater?" A girl in a black T-shirt in the crowd stood at the ticket gate with her purse and looked at the conductor.
"Our largest screening room has 682 seats. ”
The conductor watched the girl swallow his saliva and was surprised by the girl's generosity.
"I got it. After listening to the conductor's words, the girl took out her bank card from her wallet and handed it to the conductor, while adding: "One hundred." ”
"One...... 100?" The conductor's hand trembled with the bank card, this was the first time he had encountered such a high roller since he sold tickets.
The 682-seat screening hall includes 100 shows, which is 477,400 yuan, and he has to work for 20 years to save so much money, and the premise is that he does not eat or drink.
"Yes, a hundred. The girl nodded affirmatively: "I will open these 100 games to everyone for free after I charter them, as long as they are willing to watch "Forrest Gump", they can enter." ”
The girl chartered a hundred shows mainly to donate money, she would not have the luxury of sitting alone in the large screening hall to watch a hundred movies, and the time is not allowed, she is a busy person, personal time is a luxury for her.
So instead of being empty and wasteful, it is better to open it for free, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all.
"Okay. ”
The conductor nodded confusedly, took the bank card and began to swipe it.
The volunteers who tied ribbons on the side were also surprised by the girl's boldness, but they suddenly thought that they didn't have so many ribbons, so they looked at the girl weakly and said: "Miss, I don't have so many ribbons here for the time being, but you can tell me your home address, and I will arrange for someone to send them to you after dawn." ”
"No, I already have it, you can give these streamers to people who come to see the movie. The girl raised her hand and shook it at the volunteer, who also had a ribbon tied around her wrist.
Soon, after the business was done, the girl took the bank card and left the theater in the applause of everyone.
And all this was also seen by a reporter who came to the theater to collect news.
After the girl left, he immediately rushed back to the agency, and he wanted to write about it overnight and publish it in the "New York Times", and he even thought of the title, just called: Arrian Lauder is generous and packs hundreds of movies.
Such a title is easy to understand and quite gimmicky.
At three o'clock in the morning, the theater finally closed after sending off the last fans in line to buy tickets, but they couldn't rest yet, because many people were still waiting for the statistics of their midnight box office.
Michael Ovitz, who lives in Beverly Hills, sat on the couch in his pajamas in his living room, sipping red wine while waiting for the midnight stats.
Soon, the landline on the table suddenly rang, and the bell was particularly harsh in the silent room, Michael Ovitz hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and picked up the microphone and asked, "How many are there?"
""Vulgar" at $1.1 million, "The Shawshank Redemption" at $1.22 million. ”
"Yes, how much is the box office of "Forrest Gump" at midnight?"
"The statistics of Forrest Gump have not yet come out. ”
"Tell me as soon as you come out. ”
Michael Ovitz hung up the phone, put it back on the couch, and took a sip of his glass.
The midnight box office of more than one million dollars does not seem to be much, but Michael Ovitz is still quite satisfied that "Vulgar" and "The Shawshank Redemption" can get such box office results.
You must know that the box office record for midnight in North America is $8.62 million, but it is an A-grade commercial film and directed by a famous director.
And what about "Vulgar" and "The Shawshank Redemption"?
There is neither a big cast lineup nor a famous director to direct, Quentin Tarantino is still a rookie director, so he can get more than one million dollars at the box office, which is good.
However, it also depends on how much "Forrest Gump" has at the box office, if "Forrest Gump" surpasses "Vulgar" and "The Shawshank Redemption", then no matter how much Mike Owitz has at the box office at midnight, he will be dissatisfied, but if "Vulgar" and "The Shawshank Redemption" have more box office at midnight than "Forrest Gump", even if it is only $100,000 at the box office, he is satisfied.
His purpose is to defeat John, not to get any box office champions, and in his heart it is much cooler to beat John than to win any championships.
At the same time that Michael Ovitz got the box office data for the midnight show, the phone in the Purple Star Manor also rang, and the piercing sound made the sleepy people in the living room suddenly come to their senses.
"I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up!"
Ariana instantly bounced off the sofa like a chicken blood, grabbed the phone and asked directly, "How much is the box office?"
"What! I haven't counted it yet, only the box office statistics of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgarity"! What do I want them for! I want "Forrest Gump". Ariana hung up the phone and went back to the couch in a huff.
"My dear, your opponent's stats are just as important, and knowing yourself and your opponent is the only way to win all battles. Devon Morgan taught Ariana a word and picked up the phone again.
"How much did "Vulgar" and "The Shawshank Redemption" box office at midnight?"
"Okay, I know, continue to stare at the theater chain, and report as soon as the data of Forrest Gump comes out. ”
Devin Morgan hung up the phone and sat back on the couch, and said to Dani, Nancy, and Darren Morgan who were looking at her: "1.1 million for "Vulgar" and 1.22 million for "The Shawshank Redemption." ”
"That's a good result. Nancy listened and looked at the crowd. She is the most familiar with the film market of all, and her words are very convincing.
"Forrest Gump must be higher than them. Ariana held her little head proudly high. In her heart, the film she invested in was the best, and there was no one.
"My dear! Unfounded self-confidence is blind self-confidence. Devon Morgan shook his head helplessly.
"Who says I have no basis? ”
"And what is your basis?"
"My basis is that John is sleeping right now. If he hadn't had faith in his film, how could he have slept if he hadn't had faith in his film?"
"Uh......!"
Everyone thought this was too unfounded, but it sounded reasonable.
