When Thomas finally contacted Nie Wei and asked about his inner doubts, Nie Wei told him very directly that it was the power of money.

Just like what is said in the article of Zengguang Xian, the sake has a red face, and the wealth is moving.

Some things are not absolute, just like why Iger asked Thomas to ask Nie Wei's opinion, didn't he give Nie the only hint that he needed greater benefits.

Obviously, Thomas also saw the potential of this movie to be a big hit, and similarly, he was also a part worried, and what Nie Wei needed to do was to come up with more chips to give Iger the confidence to gamble with Nie Wei.

So Nie Wei increased his chips, and Egger also gave his 'kindness'.

When both parties release their 'goodwill', what seems to be unchangeable will naturally change.

"Mr. Nie Wei, I have to admire your courage. After Thomas figured out Nie Wei's answer to himself, he couldn't help but sigh and said.

After all, that's a five-percent interest, if the movie is really a big hit, it is likely to design tens of millions of dollars, and Nie Wei promised to go out, which makes Thomas not know how to evaluate it.

Nie Wei also admitted that it was really risky for him to do this, if the movie didn't sell well, then he would cause him more losses if he did so, but Nie Wei also had a reason to do so.

You must know that this is a Christmas file, a Christmas file with Hollywood movies.

Take a look at the opponents that "League of Assassins" will face, first of all, "Four Christmas", which will be released on December 26, starring Rishi, a Hollywood A-list actress, Oscar-winning actress, maybe some people are a little unfamiliar with her name, but when it comes to the movies she has acted in, you must know it, such as "Legally Blonde", or "Vanity Fair".

And this movie is typically shot to cater to the Christmas atmosphere, and even the name is clearly with Christmas, it is simply the American version of the Chinese New Year movie, and it is also a film that is favored by countless local film critics.

In addition, David Frankl brought his latest work "Marley and Me", which is also his work after two years after "The Queen Wears Prada", and has also attracted the attention of many fans.

There is also "Rejuvenation", which was released only one day after "League of Assassins", this movie is directed by the great director David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt, a Hollywood superstar, and Nie Wei remembers that this movie should have a good reputation and box office, and even entered the top 20 of the annual North American box office list that year.

In addition, the popular "Classic Car" is also a threat to "League of Assassins", and "Mr. Yes", which was released a few days earlier than "League of Assassins", starring Jim Carrey, this person's status in the Hollywood circle is equivalent to Zhou Xingxing in the Chinese film industry, and he is at the level of the king of comedy in his country's film and television circle.

With so many movies starring in either big productions or high popularity, Nie Wei really can't afford to wait.

If it were in normal times, he might not give up this part of the benefits in exchange for the number of premiere screens, after all, 1,300 screens is not bad, and if the results are good, Disney will also take the initiative to help Nie Wei increase the number of screens.

But this time Nie Wei can't afford to wait, he must increase the premiere to a certain number of screens, and strive for income to make the film enter the weekly box office list, otherwise, if "League of Assassins" does not perform well on the first day, it is very likely that it will be drowned in the sea of these films and never be able to come out again.

Therefore, Nie Wei would rather give up some of his interests and strive for the opportunity for the League of Assassins to come out as soon as possible.

And as long as the movie sells well at the box office, he will not lose money, and similarly, Disney has a greater profit share and will do more to help promote "League of Assassins".

Only if "League of Assassins" does well, it is a win-win situation, and if the movie does not do well, it is a lose-lose.

Now, Nie Wei has paid a little percentage, but he has firmly tied Disney to the chariot of "League of Assassins", and the rest depends on the results after the release.

I have to say that Nie Wei's choice of Thomas as a partner is indeed accurate, although this guy is greedy for money, but he is also very moral, and if he accepts your money, he will definitely try his best to help you do things.

For example, he helped Nie Wei to fight for the number of screens before, Thomas really tried his best, although the result was not satisfactory, but if it was not for his persistence, I am afraid that Egg would listen to Jace's words and only give "League of Assassins" a few hundred screens, which would be a bad thing.

And Thomas didn't live up to his promise, at least he still knows how to feel guilty, so when Disney arranged the promotion of "League of Assassins" in the future, Thomas can be said to have been taking pictures from beginning to end.

In terms of resource arrangement, with his status at Disney, he can't point fingers too much, but he plays a good role in supervision, at least under his surveillance, when those employees underground are promoting this movie, there is basically no cheating and trickery.

With a warm-up period of about a month, many American fans also know that a movie about the DC Brotherhood story changed by a Chinese director will be released on Christmas Eve.

Because it is a movie adaptation of DC Comics, it still attracts the attention of some DC Comics fans, but this number is not large, after all, the Brotherhood itself belongs to the villain organization in DC Comics, and its popularity is not high.

Especially compared with DC's Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, there is a big gap in popularity, and even the second-tier Flash and Green Arrow are more well-known than this organization, otherwise Nie Wei would not have taken down the film and television rights for only a small price.

Fortunately, Nie Wei's trailer is very good, with high-quality special effects pictures, coupled with hot and exciting action scenes, coupled with Disney's hard publicity, it also won the curiosity of some audiences, and the pre-sale box office also exceeded 10 million on the eve of release.

Of course, this number is nothing compared to "Rejuvenation", which has more than 22 million advance box office under the popularity of the lead actor Brad Pitt, which is double the number of screens premiered by "League of Assassins", and the number of screens premiered by the other party is also 4,100, which is double the number of screens premiered in "League of Assassins".

And the second most anticipated movie in the Christmas file is also not "The League of Assassins", but "Mr. Yes" starring Jim Carrey, although the comedy king has had a trend of being angry in recent years, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, he has been in the film for so many years, has a huge fan base, and his support is also very strong, and before the release of "Yes Mister", the pre-sale box office also reached 18 million.

Next is the movie "Four Christmas", which has a pre-sale box office of 15 million.

Next is "Marley and Me", which was released on the same day as "Rejuvenation", and the pre-sale box office is also 15 million, which is less than 100,000 pre-sale box office data from "Four Christmas", and it is four days longer than "Four Christmas" at night, so the pre-sale box office data must surpass "Four Christmas".

Next is "League of Assassins", the pre-sale box office that closed before the final release barely exceeded 10 million, but it is worth mentioning that this data is the best pre-sale box office result in Hollywood, the United States in the past five years.

The fifth place in the box office pre-sale, this result is not up or down, but for Disney and Nie Wei, they are both relieved at the same time, at least there are tens of millions of box office data to make the bottom, and the box office results in the first week should not be too bad.

Soon came to December 24th, and the lobby of the hotel where Nie Wei stayed had been placed with a very beautifully cut Christmas tree, which was full of colorful lights, and gift boxes were also placed around the roots of the tree, and even the hotel arranged for employees to pretend to be Santa Claus and give a gift to every guest.

However, the value of this gift is not comparable, ordinary room guests will only receive a simple Christmas card, while VIP customers who live in 70-square-meter deluxe rooms like Neiwei will receive more than the same Christmas gifts.

Starting in the morning, Nie Wei first received a Christmas greeting card written by the hotel's spokesperson, and at noon, the hotel sent a set of exquisite and extravagant lunches, and in the evening, Nie Wei also received tickets for concerts from the hotel, of course, Christmas essentials such as apples are also indispensable.

The lunch was exquisite and extravagant, but it was not with Nie Wei's appetite, so he directly gave it to Luo Kai, who came to the United States with him, and the concert tickets were also thrown by Nie Wei to the curious Luo Kai, but Luo Kai lost sleep when he returned to the hotel room after listening to the concert at night, because he slept too much while listening to the concert.

Only the two apples sent at night, Nie Wei kept one for himself, and the other was also lost to Luo Kai, the two ate apples, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of Nie Wei's luxury room and looking at the city view outside, even though it was ninety o'clock at this time, but there was still a crowd outside.

And the streets are also full of colorful lights, and Christmas trees of all sizes and lights are also placed in front of many merchants' houses, which makes Nie Wei suddenly feel like a festival, after all, the atmosphere of the festival is too strong.

"The first game has already begun. Luo Kai looked at his watch and said suddenly.

Although Luo Kai didn't say anything about the 'first scene', Nie Wei only knew from hearing that Nie Wei was talking about "League of Assassins".

Today, "League of Assassins" was officially released in 1,000 and 50 theaters in North America at 8:10, and the number of screens screened was 2,006 to be precise, accounting for 9.3% of the total film schedule of the day.

"It's already started, and the first game should be almost halfway through. Nie Wei subconsciously looked at the time, and then replied with a smile.

"Nie Wei, should we go to the theater to have a look?" Luo Kai suggested, he had done a 'micro-service private interview' with Nie Wei before, so he wanted to do it today.

The main reason is that he is always a little worried about whether the audience's response to this movie is good or not, and he always feels that he can be more down-to-earth after watching it with his own eyes.

"Okay, let's go check it out. Anyway, it was idle, so Nie Wei nodded and agreed.

The two don't need to do any pretense, after all, Nie Wei's popularity in the United States is far from being comparable to that in Asia, not to mention that just as Asians look at Europeans and Americans are a little blind, Europeans and Americans also have cognitive impairment when they look at Asians, Nie Wei doesn't feel that he will be watched here.

"That's all there is to it, you don't have to cover it like a nervous scar. Luo Kai couldn't help but smile when he looked at Nie Wei's outfit when he went out.

You must know that Nie Wei has debuted for many years, except for the first half year when he filmed "The Family of Gold Powder" because no one knew him because he was not popular, his popularity has always been high, if he appeared on the reception, he would be surrounded by passers-by within five minutes, just like when he 'eloped' with Shu Chang, in just half an hour, it attracted people in most cities to follow the crazy chase.

As a result, Nie Wei and Shu Chang were both blocked in the playground by fans, and this matter has not been reported by the media for a while, and has become a topic of conversation for many young people after dinner.

"I hope that one day, I will be as popular with so many people in this country as I am in China. Nie Wei said with a smile.

"There must be a day when I'm sure you can do it. Hearing Nie Wei's words, Luo Kai was stunned, but quickly came back to his senses and replied with confidence.

Soon, Nie Wei and Luo Kai came to a theater near the hotel.

At this moment, there are a lot of people gathered in the theater hall, especially young couples, it seems that whether it is at home or abroad, Christmas is a very 'important' festival for couples.

Nie Wei took Luo Kai to the ticket window, and asked for two movie tickets for "League of Assassins", while the conductor took advantage of the ticket, Nie Wei asked with a smile: "How is this movie selling?"

"Not bad. The conductor also replied with a smile: "Many of the people who bought tickets are Chinese people like you, and I deeply feel your unity and support for hometown movies." ”

Nie Wei shrugged his shoulders, but the movie ticket handed over by the conductor didn't ask any other information.

"What did you talk about just now?" Luo Kai waited until Nie Wei handed him the movie ticket, and couldn't help but ask curiously, his English was not very OK, so he didn't understand the communication between Nie Wei and the conductor just now.

Nie Wei smiled and didn't answer, the theater's ticket seller obviously discriminated a little against "League of Assassins", and there was a vague irony between his words that the box office of this movie now relies on the relationship between the Chinese, which Nie Wei was really uncomfortable to hear.

However, he did not loudly refute the conductor on the spot, because it was meaningless to do that, even if the conductor received a punishment in the end, there are some things that still have to be spoken with practical actions, such as if you want to slap the conductor in the face, you have to use the box office results to slap it, so that he can lose face.

Nie Wei didn't answer, Luo Kai didn't ask, and just as he was about to find a place to wait for the second game of "League of Assassins", suddenly a conversation aroused Nie Wei's interest.
