Chapter 1190: Only 900 million is missing
After flipping through the box office records for those days and looking at the itinerary, Leila decided to return to the United States after deciding that she had done almost everything she could.
While the potential of the East is huge, the box office in the United States is also important. If you only look at the box office in the East and ignore the power of Western fans, it is still very difficult to challenge for the first position.
And when she returned to the United States, the global box office of "The Avengers" also successfully exceeded 2.1 billion!
"It's only 900 million!"
Shortly after she stepped off the plane and stepped onto Hollywood soil, she saw a discarded newspaper in the corner, with the headline written in bold bold letters on the top side.
She walked over and picked up the newspaper, and saw that it had written about her and her movie without accident.
The report said: "Before the movie started shooting, many people began to be optimistic about her, and judged that she would fail after all with a short screenwriting time and a short filmmaking time." Before the movie was released, many people were still not optimistic about her, thinking that there were too many protagonists, it was difficult to distribute scenes, and it was easy to make a mess.
Even on the day of the release, there was a good scene of framing.
But in the end, by this time, all the disapproval and all the criticism was gone. There's no way they can't keep their mouths shut. What happened to the script that was created in two weeks? What happened to the film that was made in just over a year? Just because they can't do it doesn't mean that Leila can't do it.
And in fact, Leila did a great job. She handled the production of the film very well, and also did enough publicity well, and even ran around the world to build momentum for the film.
Now her return is here, with a global box office of $2.1 billion!
We don't know if she will eventually surpass the record of "Avatar", but there is one thing we must see, that is, she broke the record of "Titanic" and surpassed her to become the real second on the box office list in film history. ”
The newspaper also made a joke at the end, bluntly saying that Leila should be grateful to the person who framed her, and that if it hadn't happened, the movie wouldn't have been publicized. I believe that the publicity of that time is enough to make the movie hundreds of millions more box office!
If Leila finally breaks the record of "Avatar" and becomes the number one in film history, there is definitely credit for the person who framed her.
Lyra watched for a while: "This makes sense." ”
Demi took the newspaper, read it quickly, and smiled when she saw the end: "Yes, we should all be grateful to that person." ”
The two were talking and laughing, and Roy's figure appeared not far away, holding Eli in a handsome little suit in his arms.
"Boss, it seems that we are the only ones who have gone with the convoy. Demi made a joke and left with the team after Roy came over and had a few words.
"Welcome home. Lila. Roy's eyes couldn't take his eyes off her when she came back, and he couldn't wait to make up for what he hadn't seen these days.
"I'm back. Leila hugged him, took little Eli and kissed her in her arms, and then asked as she walked out, "How are you doing?"
"Everything was fine. Whether it's at home or at work. Roy looked at her and her son, his eyes overflowing with happiness and contentment. It won't be long before she will be her real wife!
"That's good. ”
Getting into the car, Leila told him the contents of the newspaper she had just seen: "What is the specific box office now?" The newspaper was not from the same day, and the news was certainly not accurate enough.
"It's more than 2.2 billion. Some speculate that you have at least a 20% chance of hitting the No. 1 box office position in film history. Roy drove the car into the driveway: "I think they are too conservative, there should be more opportunities, obviously the theater attendance is still so high." ”
Leila had no doubt that she would be looked down upon, but she was surprised that there were people who thought she could break the record.
"20 percent is a lot for them, don't forget what they said before they didn't shoot. ”
Roy couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought about it. He likes her to slap those people in the face with her grades, and every time this happens, he regrets not seeing the ugly faces of those people. If he could see it, he would definitely take a picture of it and hang it on the network so that they could entertain more people.
"I wonder what the faces of those people were when you broke the record. ”
Leila smiled, "Are you so sure I'm going to break the record?"
"I believe it!" Roy's confidence in her is definitely hard to shake. In his impression, as long as she wants to do something, there is no failure, and every time it is extraordinarily good. Even if she says that the aliens in the movie are coming tomorrow, he will accept this fact without doubt.
For his unprincipled trust, Leila can only be happy. How nice it would be if there was such a person in a previous life who could trust her wholeheartedly?
The family went home sweetly, but they didn't know that when they got into the car, a pair of cloudy eyes in the dark were watching their backs as they left.
No one knew that Cooper was back, but he did.
Because he had to come back.
It sounds a bit tongue-twisting, but it fits the reality perfectly.
If he could, he really didn't want to set foot on this land again in his lifetime, at least not while Faisal and his minions remained in the United States. It's just that he has no choice, if he doesn't come back and defeat Faisal, maybe he and his wife and family will really be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Originally, he thought that if his children went abroad, he would escape Faisal by fleeing the United States with his wife. But just two days ago, when he and his wife were walking near their rented place in the UK, they accidentally saw a flashing side face on a car.
At that time, his cold hair immediately stood up, although he couldn't be 100% sure, but that side face he really thought he had seen in Faisal's office, as if he was still the man's henchman.
There was not a single person who could become Faisal's confidant who was not ruthless, and he believed that those people had human blood on their hands, and there might not even be more than one! In the past two years alone, he knew several people, all of whom were dragged out of the office with their mouths covered, and never appeared in front of anyone again.
Thinking of this, Cooper couldn't help but shudder. Once again, he hated Lyra, if it weren't for her, how could he be associated with someone like Faisal, let alone be as embarrassed as he is now.
He didn't have to guess how angry Faisal must have been when he learned that he had fled with his family. He had no doubt that the man would kill him by the most cruel means after he caught him.
