Shen Qiushan's eyes swept to the reporter who asked the question, and asked with a smile: "What do you think, how much box office is appropriate?"

"Me?"

The female reporter was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Shen Qiushan to ask rhetorically.

"If Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon hadn't been nominated for an Oscar, the box office wouldn't have exceeded $2 million, and the situation would obviously be better now, but it must be the limit. ”

The female reporter is from a first-tier entertainment publication in New York, National Entertainment Weekly, and her name is Lucis.

Hearing her answer, most of the American reporters at the scene also nodded in agreement, Chinese films and even Asian films have performed poorly at the box office in North America, especially Chinese films, which have only won the highest box office record in North America of 10 million, so Lucy's number of eight million is already good in the eyes of everyone.

"Well, but I don't think so. Shen Qiushan shook his head and said lightly: "This young lady, why don't we make a bet, if the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" exceeds eight million, how about you cut off this long flowing hair?"

Lucith's questions are more tricky, and they are mixed with strong personal emotions and contempt for Chinese movies, so Shen Qiushan came up with such a way to give her a small punishment.

"Haircut??"

As soon as Shen Qiushan's words came out, the reporters at the scene were stunned, and then there was a commotion.

"Promise him. ”

"Bet on him!"

"Lucis, you're going to win!"

"The box office exceeds eight million, that is absolutely impossible~!"

A group of old beauties coaxed one after another, and Lucis, who was the party concerned, frowned, she had long flowing blonde hair, permed with big waves, very beautiful, and her boyfriend also told her that she liked her long hair very much, so Shen Qiushan suddenly proposed to bet, she was a little hesitant.

"No problem, but what if you lose?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Lucy still felt that her chances of winning were very good, so she agreed.

"If I lose, you can make any request provided that I can do it and not break the law. Shen Qiushan spread his hands gently.

"Including giving me money?" Lucie's eyes were playful.

"Of course. Shen Qiushan smiled lightly.

"A million dollars is okay??" Lucis's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.

"No problem. Unexpectedly, Shen Qiushan directly agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly boiled, and one million dollars is a huge amount of money for an ordinary reporter.

"Director Shen Qiushan, I am also very happy to gamble with you. ”

"And me, I'm also very happy. ”

"Oh, better add me!"

"Carlos, you're bald. ”

“……”

Most people felt that Lucy had won, and the million seemed to fall from the sky.

And Shen Qiushan, who was interviewed, waved his hand at the reporters who were eager to gamble with him: "I didn't expect so many people to want to gamble with me, no problem, I can fulfill your wishes, however, my personal wealth is limited, once I lose, so many people may not be able to afford to lose, so I will choose ten of you, in addition to this young lady, there are nine places, friends with long enough hair can signal to me." ”

"Oh my God, you're telling the truth, I'm going to bet!"

"Pick me! My hair is long enough. ”

"The opportunity to make a fortune has come, I'm going to gamble on Dias!"

"Haha, this is a rare opportunity, choose me......"

Shen Qiushan's words fell, and forty or fifty people at the scene raised their hands.

"OK, everyone is very enthusiastic, then I will pick at random, this beauty, this one, and this ......"

Shen Qiushan picked nine more people in one go, both men and women, and the nine people who were selected were very excited.

"Wait until we sign a simple agreement, so that no one will deny it. Shen Qiushan looked at everyone with a smile on his face: "Well, I want to remember what you look like now, because soon, you will become bald, I'm really worried about these beauties." ”

"Hmph, you must be the one who loses!"

"That's right, you're going to lose!"

"What are you kidding, let's get ready for 10 million!"

“……”

Journalists are not to be outdone.

And after listening to the clamor of both sides, the rest of the reporters at the scene laughed, this may be the most interesting movie premiere they have ever attended, originally everyone thought that the premiere of this Chinese movie would be very boring, but I didn't expect to stage a "big show" at the end of the premiere!

The premiere is over.

Shen Qiushan's bet on the box office with ten reporters also appeared on various entertainment websites in the United States, and this news made American netizens laugh badly as soon as it came out.

"A million and cutting hair, this Chinese director is interesting. ”

"I feel like that Huaxia director has lost, anyway, I won't watch it. ”

"I always thought that Huaxia's directors were very old-fashioned, but this one is quite interesting!"

"I really want to gamble with him, it's a good chance to get out of poverty and get rich. ”

“……”

People are talking about it, but invisibly, Shen Qiushan and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have gained higher attention.

After the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it began to be screened nationwide, and the number of films scheduled was not much, but almost all big cities had films, which was much better than the rest of the Chinese films released in North America.

And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has such a schedule, thanks to a big distributor like Columbia, and in addition, it is also stained with the light of the Oscars, after all, it has won six nominations, and such a film will still be seriously considered by theaters.

Next.

The premiere box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released.

earned $3.5 million in a single day, which may not seem like much, but it is a good result compared to all the "foreign language films" released in the past and even in North America.

And after the box office data on the first day came out, the reporters who bet on the box office with Shen Qiushan were dumbfounded.

With $3.5 million at the box office in one day, it only takes three days for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to surpass eight million at the box office, and everyone will make good on the promise and cut their hair.

Therefore, those reporters who had a gambling contract with Shen Qiushan were a little panicked.

"$3.5 million a day, how can this be. ”

"Damn, does the audience really buy such a movie?"

"Looks like my hair is gone. ”

"Oh my God, I'm going to design a bald look for myself at the box office?"

“……”

At the headquarters of National Entertainment Weekly, Lucy also saw the first-day box office data of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and she pulled her long hair in annoyance.
