Chapter 461 [The True Colors of the Dark Horse (Ask for Subscription!)]

After participating in "The Allen Show", Chen Ergou participated in "Fat Lun Tonight Show" and "Chicken Feather Show" one after another, another pillar of NBC.

The celebrity talk show of the Fat Lun Show is not limited to sitting down and chatting, and will also set up a lot of mini-games, which can show the natural reactions and real personality of the stars more than talking about the life stories that the stars have told countless times.

Fei Lun has a gentle style and likes to laugh, and he will not be in a bad mood when he looks at his round face. This time was no exception, he played a game of table tennis with Chen Ergou.

Americans certainly don't play table tennis with Chinese, so they invented Beer Pong, a party game that is good for stir-frying chicken, and it became popular all over the country......

The game became popular in fraternities at American universities from 1950 to 1960, and it was the standard for young people to party. The gameplay is very simple, on the rectangular table, put some plastic cups with beer on each side, and arrange the plastic cups on both sides into a triangle.

Divide into two teams and take turns throwing ping pong balls at the opponent's plastic cup, which you can throw directly into the cup or bounce into the cup...... If you throw it, the other person will have to drink the glass and take the cup until it is finished. The losing side will drink all the remaining wine from the other party~

Not only at parties, but also at weddings...

To be honest, Xiao Tan felt that the ping pong ball was rolling around, and he threw it into the wine, and he had to drink the wine... Isn't it really dirty?

Therefore, Chen Ergou did not release the slightest water, and retreated to ten meters away and missed a ball. He didn't know how he was doing, but he had a lot of fun anyway, but at the end, Fei Lun burped and emphasized, "I'm afraid no one will play Beer Pong with you anymore...... Hiccup!"

"Chicken Feather Show" is a talk show on ABC TV, and it's not bad to grab a publicity schedule. This time, no one played games with him, and he didn't understand the humorous jokes of the Americans, and he translated the jokes of two Mr. Guo, and he didn't know if the audience could understand it, but fortunately, many viewers were laughing and laughing.

Let's get by.

A series of propaganda has come to an end for the time being.

He didn't know how effective the publicity was, but the video on the Allen Show was very popular. The magical throwing knife can be regarded as completely suppressing the Yankees. On the contrary, he was more interested in his first American talk show trip at home than in the United States. Countless netizens spontaneously began to search for his American talk show videos on the Internet, and the translated version quickly spread on the Internet, causing countless fans to cheer.

Fans also enthusiastically canonized him with several new nicknames, such as "Xiao Chen Flying Knife", "Little Dog Flying Knife", "Game Master" and the like, which can be selected.

More people are talking about his relationship with mildew, is there really a scandal?

And thanks to this round of publicity, many audiences have been attracted to the theater!

So, when the new North American box office rankings were announced, Chen Ergou could finally rest assured.

500 theaters, three days over the weekend, "Barbossa" once again won $8.85 million at the box office, not only successfully ranked fifth in the North American weekend box office list, but also won the best single box office result last weekend with a single box office of more than $17,700. In fourth place is "Kung Fu Dream," which was released for three weeks, at the top of the list is "Toy Story 3," which has been in theaters for two weeks, at $59 million.

At this time, even if God came, it could not stop Warner from expanding the scale of publicity and screening again to reap more benefits. Beginning the following week, the second week of the official North American theatrical release of "Barbossa", Warner finally expanded the number of theaters of "Barbossa" to 2,800 theaters, and the name of the film spread throughout North America.

With a rating of 8.5 on IMDB and a 90% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, these data all prove the potential of the film.

It can be said that after a long period of accumulation such as test screenings, spot screenings, and small-scale screenings, and with the full support of Warners, "Barbossa" is like gold covered with sand on the beach, and finally ushered in a big explosion.

Chen Ergou, who originally had nothing to do, suddenly became busy, like a wooden man being arranged to do all kinds of propaganda. He never knew that there was also a roadshow for the movie to be released in the United States. Everywhere I went, there were huge fans asking for autographs, "Do they all recognize me?"

"Or are they all fans of the Wilderness God of Food, fans of extreme sports? “

But all the effort is worth it, and he has a 20% share of the global box office outside of China. And "Barbossa" earned $24 million at the box office in the first four working days of the new week, second only to the popular "Twilight 3" and Sony's new film "The Last Airbender". In the three days of this weekend, it once again achieved a box office of 35.05 million US dollars, and won the weekend box office list among the giants.

The film's total North American box office has also exceeded $72.8 million, and as an adventure documentary featuring Chinese, it can be called a black and oily dark horse in this powerful summer file. Authoritative institutions predict that the final North American box office will be around 130 million.

Everyone knows that its cost is low, drone shooting is only, and Chen Ergou has already made 500 million US dollars with his treasure. Today, it seems that the value of this treasure trove has not been fully extracted.

Warner's next film is ready to start its global release journey.

It is worth mentioning that the film song "Victory" suddenly reached No. 23 on the Billboard, and the ranking is still rising, and the movie cut version of the song MV has also continued to climb on YouTube.

Chen Ergou is finally no longer unattended, and party invitations are piled up on Donnie's desk. This made him extremely resentful, "Boss, you should find an assistant or agent, I also have a lot of work." ”

"Has anyone been contacted?"

"CAA, MA, ICM have all been contacted, do you need me to help you inquire?" Donnie handed over the information of several agents.

Chen Ergou checked for a while, found that he was not impressed, and asked, "I heard that CAA is the best at packaging services?"

"Boss, in fact, the three brokerage companies are good at packaging services, but CAA was the first to put forward it. ”

"Okay, you can help me get in touch first, and inquire about how much power these people have in the brokerage company. Help me book a ticket for tomorrow, I'm going back home. ”

"The plane ticket has already been booked, but tonight at Warner's party, I suggest you go once. ”

"What party do I have to go to?" Chen Ergou curiously picked up the invitation and glanced at it, and found that it was Kevin who invited it, and the party was a warm-up dinner before the premiere of "Laying the Foundation", "...... the fart!"

He threw away the invitation with a scolding sound, thought about it and picked it up again and stuffed it back into his pocket, "Before I leave, there are still a few things that need to be arranged, you can remember them." ”

Donnie put away his smile when he heard this, picked up his notebook and listened carefully.

This boss is very talkative most of the time, but he is too authoritarian, and once he identifies something, he is a little uninhibited, and it seems that he listens to the advice, but no one else can refute it. Be as wise as he is, and never disobey him.

Chen Ergou walked to the window, pinched his chin and thought for a long time.

Now that he has come to the United States, he has a place to stay, and the company he has been planning to acquire has finally been completed. The company, called Kongari, was previously an independent production company engaged in film and television production, and since its inception, it has been making some literary films underground in the United States to distribute discs for profit.

The acquisition process went as smoothly as expected.

The United States is full of such small companies, he does not need the company to have too many resources, as long as it can have a basic publicity and production department, it is enough, and it does not cost much, five million dollars to complete the premium acquisition. The company was also chosen because it is also located in Silicon Valley, not far from Reservoir Dogs Games, and Hat's App's company is also on the other end.

Now the company has changed its name to "Reservoir Dog Entertainment Company", and now has 35 employees, Downey has been temporarily appointed general manager and is looking for a suitable professional manager to take over.

The boss of the company has changed, and it is still a rich China that has become rich, and the employees are all worried.

The U.S. economy has been sluggish in recent years, and no one wants to go out and look for a job. Their fears proved to be well found. Chen Ergou quickly set up a network technology department as soon as he came, and the first order he received was to release an App social software called "Instagram".

"This ...... They are completely unfamiliar with it, they are too unprofessional, do they want to transform into an IT company in the future?"

Fortunately, the boss also knew the situation, and specially hired two IT talents from Silicon Valley with high salaries, and Tony and Andy were responsible for taking care of them.

Instagram just happened to be the right time, and Chen Ergou had this idea when he participated in the hat's app project. What's more, Instagram is still under development and has not yet been launched.

The development of this product is extremely simple, and I remember that after INS logged in to the App store, there was no marketing at all, and the number of users grew rapidly in just one week. Subsequently, users quickly covered more than 50 countries and established more than 700 online communities.

Until it was acquired by FB, the company had only 13 employees.

Chen Ergou didn't know how different his world was from the world in his dreams, and during his time in the United States, he also found a lot of plausible memories. Some have happened, some have not happened, and he knows that these are all chances. Originally, he just wanted to come to the United States to earn a wife's capital, but seeing so many opportunities, how could he turn a blind eye.

Heaven and Buddha take it, but suffer from it, and when it is not welcome, it suffers from it.

It's a clear opportunity, and it's just a matter of hands-on.

It's not just Instagram, like the rights acquisition plan that is currently on the Downey Shore. The most obvious one is that the rights to "The Hunger Games" are being fought over by Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment, and no conclusion has yet been reached.

At the beginning of the period, Chen Ergou was also surprised, and after understanding what happened, he felt normal again. Because "Twilight" has made the market of youth movies popular, almost all the slightly popular ones on the market are asked for price, but not everyone has his forward-looking vision, and it is normal to be able to identify gold and jade at a glance, and it is normal to bid against each other.

This gave him the opportunity to plug in.

The sky was dark, and Chen Ergou drove straight to Warner's party venue, and was surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he arrived at the door. He put on his sunglasses and walked inside as soon as he lowered his head.

"Are you the Hero-chen of the Barbossa?

Although such a question would be a little embarrassing, Chen Ergou nodded politely, "Yes, thank you for your support of the movie." ”

As a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Ayman Arthur didn't revolve around tonight's party's protagonists, Leonardo, Christopher, and others, to ask for news. But everyone is swarming to watch, how can we highlight the exclusivity of the news. The good reputation of "Barbossa" made Chen Ergou's exposure during this period not low, but most Americans don't know much about this young man.

From the far east, his ability is like a mystery, and there are so many things waiting to be solved.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Ayman, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, can I ask you a few questions?"

Chen Ergou looked around, handed over a few more microphones, hesitated and nodded, "Limited to movies." ”

Aiman was stunned and asked: "An authoritative organization predicts that the North American box office of "Barbossa" will exceed 130 million, when do you think it will exceed 100 million?"

"If you look at the American audience, your support will be very fast, and if you are tired of seeing my face, it will naturally be far away. I think it's going to be about the same next weekend. ”

"Next weekend?"

"Yes. ”

Very confident Chinese.

But he already has hundreds of millions of dollars in his hands and has a lot of money. And now that the reputation of "Barbossa" is very good, there is no reason for him to not even have this confidence.

"I heard that you bought an entertainment company with $5 million from Taylor, will you develop in Hollywood in the future?"

"At present, China's development is getting better and better, and I still have to return to China. As for the money to buy the company is none of Taylor's business, that's just a joke. It just so happened that I needed to buy a company for the right project, and I didn't think about it that much. Someone in the distance greeted him, and he was about to take his leave. Aiman hurriedly asked, "How soon can we see your next work?"

"What's next?"

Chen Ergou paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "Maybe we'll see it soon." ”
