Chapter 568 Celebrate

Callidos, who had been happily and joyfully waiting to return to the celebration party, took the fax from his secretary and read it, and then stood up suddenly, his eyes wide and he exclaimed. www.biquge.info"This can't be!

The fax from Fox Film had two numbers on it, both about the premiere box office of "The Princess Diaries."

According to the general statistical principle, if the statistics of the first release box office are closed to the last day, then the premiere box office of "The Princess Diaries" will reach 29 million, but if the pre-sale box office revenue is also counted, then the first box office of "The Princess Diaries" will be as high as 42 million!

Taken aback by Callisto's abrupt behavior, Paramount Pictures Group Chairman Shirley Lansing gave him a disgruntled look. "Calido, could it be that Fox Films is on fire?"

Ignoring Shirley Lansing's sarcasm, Callidor raised the fax in his hand and asked his secretary. "Is this data accurate?"

"Unless 'The Princess Diaries' is declared banned and not allowed to continue to be screened, this number will only increase, not decrease. ”

Waving his hand to signal the secretary to go out, Callido brought himself a full glass of whiskey, and then sat down and spoke in frustration. "Shirley, do you believe that the premiere box office of the movie "Princess Diaries" can reach the first box office of 42 million?"

Shirley Lansing pursed her lips with a look of disdain. "Cut!

"Yes, after three days of release and more than 600 screens, it only received a box office of 3.2 million, although it cannot be regarded as extremely bleak, it is absolutely impossible to join the ranks of the 'over 100 million' box office......"

Shirley Lansing's face changed suddenly, and she leaned over and snatched the fax that was placed under the whiskey bottle, glanced at it, and then said in astonishment. "It's impossible! Cheating! Definitely cheating!"

He lowered his head and poured himself another glass of wine, and sighed as he drank it all. "Lost! There is no reason to lose...... Defeat ......"

Shirley Lansing knew about the VAM between Fox and Dream Media, but she didn't know what it was, but that didn't prevent her from guessing what Callisto was talking about, so she laughed out loud. "Callisor, I remember you were triumphant, saying that you would be welcomed as a 'hero' when you returned home......"

Frustrated to the extreme, if it weren't for the fact that he and the other party have been old friends for many years, Callidor would really have turned his face on the spot.

Seeing that Callidos' expression was wrong, Shirley Lansing realized that the seriousness of the matter might be even higher than she had imagined, and after a little thought, she was stunned. "Isn't it? Could it be that the overseas distribution rights of "Titanic" have also been lost to the other party?"

Mu Ran stared at the wine glass that had just been poured full of wine in front of him, but Calido didn't drink it, but turned the wine glass to the light, and sighed after a moment. "Shirley, if my hunch is not wrong, [Dream Media] will become a nightmare for major film companies......"

The change of topic made Shirley Lansing a little puzzled. "Why?"

"After the VAM was signed, the young man brought up the topic of 'greed', the first time he quoted 'greedisgood' from the 1987 'Wall Street' film, and after signing the contract that day he said "greed, forlackofabetterword, isgood." (Greed doesn't sound good, but it's a good thing) ......"

Hearing these two words, Shirley Lansing immediately changed color, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Finally unable to swallow the wine in the glass, Callidor slammed the glass on the table and exhaled, then asked. "Shirley, if the box office of the premiere can reach 40 million, then is it difficult for the national box office to exceed 80 million and the global box office to exceed 100 million?"

Shirley Lansing frowned. "Callisdor, are you testing me?"

"No, I'm not testing you, but because I still have the last shred of hope...... Hopefully there will be a miracle......"

Shirley Lan smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Callido, you should know that miracles rarely happen, and the bigger the investment, the more difficult it is to happen. Let alone...... Only those with unrealistic fantasies can hope for a miracle, so could it be that you need to escape from reality as well?"

Callidor was silent.

He filled the glass again, sipping it in small sips, pondering, and agonizing, until it was empty, and then he looked up. "Shirley, I need to go to the young man and congratulate him on sealing the win early, you ...... Want to go along?"

Having never seen the other party so frustrated, Shirley Lansing was stunned. "Lock in the win early?"

"I lost. Fox also lost. But I still don't think I'm to blame for that, so I want to know why......"

At this point, Callido slowly stood up, and nodded heavily, as if to strengthen his confidence. "I don't think that young man should humiliate me, are you going?"

To meet the young man who has already locked up the victory in advance and stole the local distribution rights of Paramount's "Titanic"?

Shirley Lansing didn't want to block herself, so she shook her head firmly.

With the fax in hand, Callidor took the elevator to the door of Fu Zhengyi's room alone, and hesitated for a moment before ringing the doorbell.

Fu Zhengyi, who opened the door, saw that it was Calido, and was stunned for a moment before speaking. "Something?"

As a director of Fox Films, Callidor has always felt that he has the capital and qualifications to win, and he also has the magnanimity to admit defeat and admit defeat, but this time he still feels that he is not happy to run over in a fit of anger, and the surprised expression of the young man in front of him is so hateful, it is hard to imagine that he was still thinking about inviting him to his manor and becoming friends with this cheerful young man!

Sensing that the other party's face was very ugly, Fu Zhengyi glanced at his appearance and found no problem, so he had to let the other party in first with doubts and ask Calido what he wanted to drink?

"The stronger, the better!" said Callido, who sat down angrily, and waited for Fu Zhengyi to come and sit down with a glass of wine and whiskey before he asked. "Fu, the film festival will end tomorrow, are you going to return to China or go to the United States to celebrate?"

Fu Zhengyi became more and more puzzled. "Celebrate, celebrate what?"

"What are you celebrating? Aha! Are you Orientals like this? Winning is winning, whether it's Fox Films or I, Calido, we can face the result calmly. Don't be coy, it's disgusting......"

Callido's seizure made Fu Zhengyi more and more confused.

It wasn't until the other party threw the crumpled fax over that he understood why the other party's face was so ugly and his mood was so irritable!

Putting the fax back on the table, Fu Zhengyi said as he looked into Callidore's eyes. "Although you are angry, I am not at fault in this matter, so I think you need to apologize!"

"Apologize? Aha! Apologize? If you can point out my faux pas, what's the point of apologizing? But the problem is that you know you've won, but you're still acting like you don't know anything in front of me......"

Raising his wrist to look at the time, Fu Zhengyi raised his hand to interrupt the other party's roar. "It's 21:30 p.m. Tokyo time, so it's 7 a.m. in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and I haven't gotten any news about the box office for 10 hours, and Dream Media hasn't arranged for anyone to check the box office revenue with the theater in detail......

Without waiting for Fu Zhengyi's words to finish, Callido stood up angrily, propped his hands on the table and glared at him and yelled. "It's impossible! With billions of dollars in bets, no one can make it so easy!"

"I'm sorry, it seems to me that it's so easy! Whether it's when the box office was just over $3 million in the previous three days, or when you come to tell me that the premiere of "The Princess Diaries" has exceeded expectations, it's all expected for me, and I won't be overly surprised, regretful, or distressed by winning or losing!"

Speaking of this, Fu Zhengyi saw that Callido's expression became a little exciting, so he poured two glasses of wine and pushed one of them over. "Of course, if you still don't believe me, you can call Gonzalez right away and see if he's busy with box office statistics or on his way to the company......

"I was very optimistic about you...... You've already won, and humiliating your opponent doesn't add luster to your victory......"

"Callisor, maybe I happened to be in the right place at the right time and in the right place to decide the ownership of a movie, but I didn't feel unpleasant in the whole process, and my opponent deserves respect and admiration, so even if I win, I won't be arrogant because of it, let alone humiliate you!

Callidor was stunned.

After a moment, he hesitantly pulled out his phone and wanted to call Gonzalez from Dream Media.

Ding dong......

The doorbell rang.

Fu Zhengyi got up to open the door, and Ran Ying, who was excited and excited, rushed in waving a fax, shouting "Win, win, we win!"

Glancing at the fax that Ran Ying had just received, Fu Zhengyi motioned for her to hand over the fax directly to Callidos.

Faced with the exact same fax he had received forty minutes earlier, Callidor noticed a handwritten note from Gonzalez at the bottom, meaning that the fax was provided by Fox Films, and the authenticity of the fax was yet to be verified.

Callidor stood up and saluted Fu Justice. "It's me who blames you......" (To be continued.) )
