794. Gratitude

The final weekly box office figure for League of Assassins was $85.5 million, which exceeded all expectations.

Disney President Iger's favorite topic at recent gatherings is his hairstyle "League of Assassins", including how he took an extra 5% profit share from Nie Wei, and how he accurately and decisively increased the number of screens for the premiere of "League of Assassins" to more than 2,000.

Even in the past two days, he has proudly said in a chat with his friends that the release of "League of Assassins" is the most successful overseas film distribution deal he has made since he became the president of Disney.

He really can't brag about what he said, you must know that "League of Assassins", which received $85 million at the box office in the first week, should be able to exceed $150 million at the end of its release.

And in 08, how many movies can exceed 150 million at the box office?

The answer is eleven.

In Iger's view, "League of Assassins" has the potential to break into the top ten of the North American 08 box office list, and Disney, which had no intention of competing for this year's Christmas file, suddenly received such a big gift, and Iger was simply pleasantly surprised.

At the same time, because of the success of the release of "League of Assassins", Iger also has greater prestige in the board of directors, and it is also a three-point reinforcement for the president throne under his ass.

Egger was in a good mood, and naturally praised Thomas for supporting "League of Assassins" at the meeting.

And not only verbal praise, Thomas was also commended by the head office, and he was also assigned to be in charge of overseas film distribution.

Although the position is only flat, the power in the hands has increased greatly.

You must know that Disney is the world's top film company, and it is also one of the best Hollywood film companies in operation.

Thomas was able to sit in such a position, even if he was only one of the supervisors, it was much more important than his previous position, and the difference can be felt by the way the employees of the company look at him these days.

In the past, employees looked at him, although polite, but there was not much respect, but now, many employees look at him with respect, which is the subordinate to the power of the involuntary heartfelt feelings.

If the respect of the employees makes Thomas feel very satisfied, there are many sudden temptations, anyway, Thomas feels that his previous days are really in vain, and the two days of promotion are really more intoxicating than the paradise described in the Bible.

Fortunately, Thomas is not completely lost in power, and he at least remembers who brought him all this.

The day after his promotion, when Thomas reported the box office news of the day to Nie Wei, he also issued a sincere invitation to Nie Wei, hoping that Nie Wei could go to his house for a banquet.

"Mr. Nie, I sincerely invite you to visit my house and try the dishes made by my wife, and my family and I would like to express our gratitude to you. When he said this, Thomas was apprehensive in his heart, in his eyes, Nie Wei was a big man at the same level as Egg.

He was very afraid that his rash invitation would be rejected, but if he wanted to thank Nie Wei only verbally, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, although he was greedy for money, but his personality was affectionate and righteous.

Fortunately, Thomas's inner apprehension quickly disappeared with Nie Wei's promise, and all that was left was full of surprise and gratitude.

Nie Wei did hesitate for a moment when Thomas suddenly invited him to his house for a banquet, but thinking about the way this guy has been helping his movie, Nie Wei feels that this is a person worth dating, although it is unlikely to become a friend, but as a partner, Thomas is qualified.

Thomas's family banquet and Nie Wei agreed at five o'clock in the evening, because the hotel was a little far away from Thomas's home, so Nie Wei and Luo Kai went out at four o'clock.

This time, Nie Wei already had to wear a mask when he went out, because with the popularity of "League of Assassins", audiences who had already begun to recognize Nie Wei on the street had begun to recognize Nie Weilai.

Nie Wei still remembers the first time she recognized herself, a cashier lady in the supermarket near the hotel, her surprised expression, excited and trembling voice left a deep impression on Nie Wei, of course, this also has a lot to do with the cashier's good looks.

And originally Nie Wei had a certain popularity base in North America, and the first few English songs also made Nie Wei seriously popular in this land for a while, but Nie Wei never worked hard, so the popularity of that period came and went quickly.

Now that "League of Assassins" is hot, many viewers have recalled Nie Wei, and some comments have also appeared on the Internet, mentioning Nie Wei and the very popular songs he wrote before.

After discovering Nie Wei's other talent in addition to being an actor, it also aroused the curiosity of these new fans, and they still searched for information about Nie Wei on the whole network.

I don't know if I don't search, but the result really scared them.

"And haven't you noticed that this movie of "League of Assassins" was also shot by this Nie Wei, so in addition to being an actor, he is also a big director. ”

"My God, this actor named Nie Wei is still a billionaire, and he is only twenty-two years old!!"

"I fell in love with such an amazing guy, I decided, he is my idol for life!"

"I admire him even more for creating an online empire, it turns out that the Weibo I use was created by him, I just want to say, this is really a genius idea. ”

"HEY, brothers, I have a new discovery, he is still a game planner, we play League of Legends is planned by him, oh my God, how many identities are worth excavating, I even wonder if he is God's illegitimate child, otherwise why would there be so many genius thoughts. ”

"I think I should make him feel the warmth of our American girl, do any of you know the hotel and room number where he is staying?"

"Don't be delusional, he already has a beautiful wife in the East. ”

"So what's the matter. ”

The younger generation in the United States most admires idols who have successfully started their own businesses through their own efforts, such as Bill Gates or Larry Page.

After all, this is a money-led society, here, the richer it is, the more successful it is, those big businessmen often have a lot of fans and even believers, these days, as Nie Wei's personal information is being dug up more and more, there are more and more young Americans who begin to worship Nie Wei.

Especially Nie Wei's age, he is basically the same age as them, which adds to the sense of identity of this group of people, they have taken Nie Wei as their idol and goal, and even influenced many people to devote themselves to the cause of network technology, after all, on the surface, Nie Wei really started through the career of network technology.

Riding in the Mercedes-Benz S-class provided by the hotel, Nie Wei and Luo Kai finally arrived at Thomas's door five minutes before five o'clock.

Thomas's home is a typical two-story villa in the United States, with a fairly spacious yard in front of the door, some bushes planted in it, the lawn is neatly manicured, and there are some mini playground equipment in the small yard, which is obviously for his baby.

Thomas's family was waiting at the door of the house, and when they saw a Mercedes-Benz S parked in front of their door, Thomas immediately stepped forward, and there was only Nie who came to his house in this kind of luxury car.

Thomas's enthusiasm surprised Luo Kai, Luo Kai just got out of the car and was about to open the car door for Nie Wei, but Thomas snatched the job.

"Mr. Nie, I feel very honored to welcome you here. To Nie Wei's surprise, Thomas's words were actually expressed in Chinese, although it sounded a little strange, but the meaning of each word did arrive.

I really don't know how much time this guy took to learn this sentence, but this dedication made Nie Wei smile unconsciously.

Seeing Nie Wei's smile, Thomas knew that his efforts were not in vain, and the smile on his face was also followed by three brilliant points, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, he must work hard to learn Chinese when he turned back, not to mention the relationship with Nie Weila, it is such a huge market in China, and it is worth his efforts, after all, he is now responsible for developing overseas markets.

Thomas clearly didn't know how much his decision at this time would benefit him in the future.

Thomas then introduced his family to Nie Wei, first of all, his wife, a lady named Liya, who left the deepest impression on Nie Wei was her height, she was even able to look at Nie Wei in high heels, Nie Wei estimated in his heart that her height should be between 1.78 and 1.8 meters.

Interestingly, Thomas did not inherit the height of the Caucasians, he was only less than 1.75 meters tall, and his body was still a little fat, and when he stood with his wife, he was full of joy.

Thomas then also introduced his two children, the seven-year-old eldest son, named Andrew Thomas, and the five-year-old younger son, named Aiden Thomas.

The two little ones don't look like each other at all, the eldest son is carved out of the same stencil as Thomas, and the younger son is more like his mother.

Seeing the two children, Nie Wei also took out the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Brother Nie Wei's gift to you, open it and take a look, do you like it?" Nie Wei handed the two exquisite gift boxes to Thomas's two children, and the children opened the gift boxes curiously, and were quickly attracted by the truth of the gifts inside.

Nie Wei gave the two children two sets of Lego's latest assembly toys, which were obviously very much in line with Thomas's children's age.

"Mr. Nie, thank you very much for the gift. Thomas was very moved, he really didn't expect that Nie Wei would prepare gifts for her children, and he chose them so much to his children's hearts.

Thomas asked his wife to take the two children to play first, and he took Nie Wei and Luo Kai to visit the small courtyard of his house, and then led Nie Wei and the others into the house.

By this time, his wife had already put the prepared dinner on the table.

Thomas's dinner party is a typical American food, croissants, steaks, fries, vegetable salad, and seafood soup, etc., it can be seen that the host has prepared very carefully, the croissants still have residual warmth, and the steak has also been intimately cut into small pieces, as well as plating, tableware, etc., and even prepared chopsticks for Nie Wei and Luo Kai.

Nie Wei looked at the brand-new level of this chopstick, obviously it was newly bought for this meal.

Nie Wei and Luo Kai ate so-so at dinner, mainly because neither of them liked American food very much, of course, after the dinner, Nie Wei did not skimp on his praise, and praised Thomas's wife's cooking skills, which made Thomas's wife Leah laugh happily.

Until Nie Wei and Luo Kai left Thomas's house, Liya continued to praise Nie Wei, saying that he was very approachable, very handsome, very polite and educated, and even guessed whether Nie Wei was born in an ancient aristocrat in the East.

While listening to his wife's constant praise for Nie Wei, Thomas generally sipped a cup of black tea that had been slightly cooled, and watched his two sons working hard to assemble the two sets of Lego toys that Nie Wei gave him.

Thomas was happy because of the closeness expressed by Nie Wei, but some people were bitter in their hearts.

For example, Adolf, he is still in a state of blindfolding, and the "League of Assassins", which barely ranked in the top ten on the first day, actually made a big turnaround, and it turned over more than once, but like Sun Wukong's somersault cloud, it turned out 108,000 miles.

The box office data of $85.5 million in the first week not only made the film firmly sit on the throne of the weekly box office champion, but also made him lose the bet.

The thought of kissing a donkey sooner gave Adolf the urge to jump from the twenty-story building.

Hygiene or something is secondary, the key is really shameful.

"That Albert bastard must be smiling happily right now. Adolf thought hatefully, that guy, if it wasn't for his persecution, how could he make such a bet?

Just as Adolf was frowning and thinking about how to solve this matter decently, the mobile phone he kept in his pocket suddenly rang, and when he took it out, he saw that it was a call from his agent.

"Adolf, get ready, the TV station has already contacted us. The agent said a word, and Adolf almost jumped off the couch.
