Chapter 274, "Alien II" will be released soon
"Mom, I'm back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as Fazi walked into the house, he heard the sound of his mother washing dishes in the kitchen.
"Ah, Fazi, welcome home. ”
Tomoko walked to the living room with a plate full of dish soap, saw her daughter's red face, and said lovingly, "It's hard today, isn't it?
"Well, I see. ”
Fazi untied her scarf, and Tomoko hurriedly returned to the kitchen: "Mom, have you heard the name Alice-Wang?"
Alice...... King?"
Zhizi, who was about to turn on the faucet, paused for a moment: "Foreigner, Wang, let me think about it, a girl of Chinese descent?"
"Well, and she's just a girl my age. ”
As if he had discovered Solomon's treasure and wanted to share it with his family, Fazi did not wait to take off his coat and said in a hurry: "I don't know what kind of business she is, so she is rich." Mom, you know the Crystal Shopping Mall, right?"
Tomoko smiled and said, "Of course I know, it's the top shopping mall in Ginza, and people don't just ask you to meet there." What's wrong? She took you in shopping?"
Fazi hung the coat she had taken off on the hanger in the entrance and exclaimed, "The nineteenth floor where she invited me to eat sushi is such a high-end restaurant." Then, the president of that store actually found her in person, and then I learned that this Alice actually bought the entire crystal mall!"
The sound of washing dishes immediately stopped, and it was a full three seconds before Tomoko remembered to turn off the faucet.
"Y-What did you say?"
She hurried into the living room, her freshly washed plate still in her hand: "A whole building, all bought!?"
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Alice bought the commercial building, and even with the pride of the method, she held her head and said: "A whole building, more than 20 floors, and it is still on a land like Ginza, I'm afraid it will cost tens of billions, right?"
Tomoko nodded her head violently, her heart pounding.
Tens of billions of yen, what is this concept?
That night, Noriko's father, Sakai Sanone Castle, pondered at the dinner table. By his side, his biological daughter Noko and his second wife, Tomoko, are waiting for their answers.
"Alice Wang, I have some impression of the name. ”
His fingers tapped on the table: "A few days ago, the Asahi Shimbun made a report on the current situation of the computer network industry in the United States, mentioning a company called Cisco Systems. I remember...... The founder of this business seems to have been called by that name. ”
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Tomoko said in disbelief: "It's impossible, isn't it? It's a big business, right? How can a girl the same age as our Fako be the founder of that kind of big business?"
"It's unbelievable, but if you have the same name and surname, they are all Chinese-American girls, and they are so rich, you can tell me, how likely is a coincidence?"
The whole family knows that after leaving his original career, Sangen Castle is interested in making a living in the financial industry, and the family is still discussing moving to Yamanashi Prefecture not long ago. But last year, if the mother and daughter asked this question, he was afraid that they would say something.
Since the topic is here, Sangen City is really busy, and he doesn't eat anymore, so he immediately goes to the locker at home and rummags it over. Ever since he decided to pursue a career in finance, he has developed the habit of collecting a large number of newspapers for emergencies, and now is the perfect time.
"Look at your father, how serious he is. ”
Sitting at the dining table, Tomoko gently stroked Fazi's head.
But the law was silent.
Yes, the current mother is her stepmother.
Fako's father was originally a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and he was also the leader of the "Sakai Group" under the Yamaguchi-gumi, so his status was not low. As for Fazi's biological mother, as early as when she was only two years old, she divorced because she couldn't bear the domestic violence, and then died in an accident within a few years. And before the age of six, Fazi didn't even grow up next to his father.
Now, after being removed from the Yamaguchi-gumi, are you finally planning to "learn well"?
Looking at Sangenjo carefully reading the newspaper, she took a noncommittal sip of miso soup in response to her stepmother's words.
"Sure enough...... I knew it. ”
A moment later, holding a few specific newspapers, Sanganjo walked back to the table in amazement: "Alice Wang, the founder of Cisco Systems, and two computer science professors who resigned from Stanford University the year before last started this company. Then, she was a shareholder of Microsoft, and the win.......0 system was developed by herself............!
Not to mention the surprise of his parents, Fazi's eyes glanced at a certain layer of thick stacks of newspapers, and there was actually a copy dated three days ago.
"I'll look at this ......"
She pulled it out.
Entertainment section, an introduction to the latest Hollywood movies.
A terrifying monster, and a strong white woman with a young girl in her arms.
"Alien II?"
A new movie is about to usher in a simultaneous premiere around the world, a thriller sci-fi movie created by Hollywood's emerging film company that has just been established for only two years, DreamWorks spent tens of millions of dollars to create, and "Alien" directed by the well-known director Ridley Scott in 1979, after seven years, finally ushered in a sequel!
In fact, as early as the end of last year, in Japan's major mainstream media, a large number of publicity and introductions have been overwhelming. In addition to the simplest poster promotion and newspaper introduction, the producers provided a 90-second trailer for major TV media, which began as early as November last year!
It's completely an afterthought, and it wasn't until Leng Buding saw the news that he found out that it seems that the name Alice Wang has long been famous all over Japan in this set of propaganda?
But it doesn't seem to be.
The film's director's name is James Cameron, but that name is enough for DreamWorks to promote it heavily. The director and screenwriter of the new popular sci-fi movie "The Terminator" released the year before last, with a cost of only eight million US dollars, created a full ten times the high box office, and this is only the second film since his debut. It can be said that the existence of such a newcomer king is enough to attract the public's sense of expectation for the new film.
But that's it, this movie also has the icing on the cake!
According to the overwhelming publicity content of the filmmaker, this movie is said to use computers on a large scale to produce various special visual effects!
Of course, no simple rhetoric is more shocking than putting the results in front of you, and the producers are obviously well aware of this.
So, as early as the trailer aired, they added a stunning clip to it!
A heavy chariot with flames all over its body slammed through layers of metal and cement scrap and rushed through the mine gate onto the surface of the asteroid with its powerful horsepower. Immediately after, a group of hideous and bloody arthropod-like alien creatures poured out of it one after another, but they were blasted into slag by a fully automatic heavy machine gun on the chariot with extremely ferocious firepower!
It's so shocking that you don't want to!
Since the trailer aired as early as November, and the expected release date was in January of the following year, the filmmakers shrewdly looked at this time gap, perhaps also confident in the effect of the trailer, and they took the opportunity to launch a videotape sale of the trailer!
I don't know how many people in the industry have commented in the newspaper, stating that DreamWorks is simply getting into the eye of money, and it is still sold for five dollars per unit of something that is grown in 90 seconds!?
Five dollars to earn!?
On the contrary, you can really earn it!
Indeed, because the trailer is so exciting, a large number of viewers, especially parents with young children at home, or college students, have been flying to DreamWorks like snowflakes of order letters for months. Someone who cares has even made statistics that in the US market in the past few months alone, the trailer video has sold a full million copies!
Yes, five million dollars is so easy to come by, after all, no one will be stingy with a mere five dollars. For a while, looking at the whole of Hollywood, I don't know how many bosses of small and medium-sized film companies are red-eyed, after all, the sales of this full five million dollars are already equal to the box office of many low-budget small movies!
And after seeing the hot sale, many media regulars who originally laughed at DreamWorks and joked about Roger Lawrence also obediently shut their mouths.
On December 31 last year, because it was the end of the year, a special commentator of the Los Angeles Times made a special summary of the sales of this videotape.
"It's a myth that can't be replicated, because no other studio can make such great visuals, and the film is a sequel to Alien, and the combination of the two is what attracts audiences to buy big. So, even other producers want to follow the example of DreamWorks and try to make money with the video tape of the sales trailer...... My suggestion is that you should pay attention. ”
Of course, the Los Angeles Times did not have the opportunity to see it, but the Asahi Shimbun, which was published by one of the largest newspapers in the United States, actually reprinted it.
"That might be Alice's idea, right?"
Fako looked at the newspaper and said to her parents: "I think she seems to be very good at investing, otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly come to Japan, it's real estate, it's an office, and she bought the president's sushi restaurant today!"
Sangenjo nodded, took the newspaper from Fazi's hand, and said with interest: "Dad still has to work, Fazi, since this movie is about to be released, do you want to find some friends to watch it together? For example, Michiko next door to us?"
Fazi thought about it and immediately chuckled. (To be continued.) )
