Under the moonlight, the temperature inside the Humvee rose sharply.

The woman's voice on the beach in the distance was quiet, and Scarlett, inside the Humvee, was louder.

The wilderness, the moonlight, the beach in the distance, and other people made Scarlett feel nervous and scared, but also had a different kind of excitement.

Especially the relationship with Chen Tian suddenly broke through tonight, and it was directly put on the bright side, and the membrane that was originally separated between the two was torn off at once.

No one thought that Chen Tian and Scarlett would be on Santa Monica Beach, let alone that the shaking Humvee would be the two of them, and no one thought that the sound coming from time to time inside the Hummer belonged to Scarlett.

Inside the MGM Building, Eric Lomis' office is still lit up.

Tonight he didn't go home and chose to stay in the company, which was not a small pressure for him.

The success of "Super Burger King" and the good reputation of "Little Sunshine Beauty" gave him confidence, but at the same time, it also gave him a lot of pressure.

Originally, the company's senior management did not attach so much importance to Chen Tian, and if it weren't for his insistence, there might not have been a sharing agreement with Chen Tian.

As Harvey Weinstein thought, the sharing agreement between Chen Tian and MGM is too exaggerated.

Now that the senior management has seen Chen Tian's future prospects, they naturally hope to continue to cooperate with Chen Tian, and at the same time, they also vaguely tell him that the benefits will be distributed when they cooperate next time.

Eric Lomis is not a fool, he knows what the top players mean.

MGM has released a lot of films lately, including "Alien Dogs" tonight alongside "Hard Candy", and last week "Time Hunt" starring Daniel Washington.

All three films were set long before he came to power. At that time, he was very opposed to these three films.

He doesn't know the situation for the two films that will be released tonight. But "Time Hunt" is difficult to make money even if it doesn't lose money. Most likely, it will still be a loss.

For MGM today, the pain of any major loss is fatal.

The 30 million-level film is just a small production for other companies, but for today's MGM, it is indeed a big production.

Even if other companies took the risk together, several films in a row lost money, which is fatal to MGM today.

However, in such a situation, the top management actually made such a request.

This made Eric Lomis feel a little regretful, and now he can only hope that "Hard Candy" and "Little Miss Sunshine" can make the top management back down with excellent results.

When the time comes, he will take out the example of Liongate and sue him, and if he doesn't agree, then Chen Tian will leave. At that point, MGM will become the second Lionsgate.

At this moment, Eric Lomis is even looking forward to the loss of the two films "Time Hunt" and "Alien Dog", after all, these two films are led by his predecessor.

Although this hurt MGM, once "Hard Fruit Candy" and "Little Sunshine Beauty" were all profitable.

Add to that Super Burger King, then he is confident enough to convince the top brass to throw away stupid ideas.

The next morning, Scarlett woke up in Chen Tian's arms, and the sun had not yet climbed up from the Pacific Ocean.

Looking at Chen Tian sleeping next to her, Scarlett smiled happily, lowered her head and secretly kissed Chen Tian.

With a kiss, Scarlett dodged like a child who had secretly done something bad.

For her, this day was the most wonderful day of her life.

The number of people on the beach gradually increased. Chen Tian also woke up, although the Humvee was far less comfortable to sleep in than in bed. But it's already a lot better than a smaller sedan.

Scarlett was wearing Chen Tian's white shirt, her chest was bulging, and the pointed parts were particularly obvious.

Seeing Chen Tian staring at her, Scarlett glared at Chen Tian.

Chen Tian sat on the front cover of the Hummer with Scarlett in his arms, waiting for the sun to rise.

The massive premiere of "Hard Fruit Candy" caused a lot of sensation, which most people didn't expect before that.

"Miami Herald" commented on "Hard Candy" in the entertainment version: The actors' performances are incredible, Justin Chan shocked us again with simple words and simple scenes, and Justin Chan's miracle continues.

Michael Jeffrey, a professional film critic for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote in his column: "This highly primitive psychological thriller will break down many people's inner defenses.

The moment the blood spilled, I regretted not listening to MGM, and I'm sure many people regret it as much as I do.

Once again, Justin Chan is telling everyone that low-budget films can be great. ”

"The Miracle Continues" -- this is the headline of the entertainment page of the New York Times on the 11th: "When we questioned what we could do with $10,000, Justin Chen used 'Buried Alive' to tell us the myth that $10,000 can make a great film and get nearly $200 million at the box office."

When we questioned what a $100,000 documentary could do, Justin Chen's "Super Burger King" told us that he could beat McDonald's, which no one could have imagined, set a box office record for a zào documentary, and influence hundreds of millions of people.

And this time, Justin Chan sued us with a $1 million "Hard Fruit Candy", and Justin Chan's miracle continued. ”

The Wall Street Journal did not have a completely positive review of Hard Fruit Candy: "Hard Fruit Candy is a film destined to be controversial, just like Buried Alive" and "Super Burger King", perhaps we have already discovered the source of Justin Chen's miracle.

But there's no denying that it's an excellent film, albeit destined to be controversial. Hopefully, Justin Chan will really make a name for himself with a film that is not controversial. ”

And Mick Russell of the San Francisco Chronicle made a completely negative assessment: "This is a film that tortures a lot of people, men, women, adults and children.

In the end, it was we the audience who were really tormented, and if I were given another chance, I would definitely listen to MGM's advice.

Spending 100 minutes sitting in a theater watching such a depressing movie was a terrible and stupid decision. ”

Roger Albert, on the other hand, wrote in the Chicago Sun-Journal his review of Hard Fruit Candy, as he thought after watching the movie in the theater: "Realistic to the point. It's a game of hunting and being hunted. A linguistic violence to the extreme!

Life is like a hard fruit candy. You never know if you're going to bite it in one bite or hold it in your mouth and wait for it to melt slowly.

The perfect follow-up to "Buried Alive", Justin Chan continues his journey of miracles!"

At the same time, he scored four and a half stars, and such evaluations and scores shocked many of his fans across the United States.

Unlike most of the media's approving attitudes, the audience is almost polarized.

"I don't think the film deserves such a high rating at all, in my opinion it's a film that is extremely depressed.

It's a crazy story of a neurotic girl, and I'm honestly disappointed in Justin Chen. ”

"Dude. Are you kidding? I admit that as a man I hate this film, it makes me feel stressed and scared, but I don't like it, it's still a great film. ”

"I agree with the above, the film is a good film, but it is not the genre I like, and I can only go to the theater to see such a movie once. ”

Most men have a similar point of view, that is, "Hard Candy" is a good film, but the content is too depressing and exaggerated, especially the castration plot.

And the women loved the film. For a while, the Internet was divided into two factions, and some people joked that this film was a touchstone for male and female gender.

There is even more discussion about "Hard Fruit Candy" on the Internet than before its release. Some people are talking about whether Joe Hamm's Jeff is actually castrated, and some people say no.

Some people are discussing whether Jeff's suicide was successful in the end, and some people say that the rope is not straightened, and the floor is not high, and he will definitely not die, but he was tricked by Hayley and failed to exchange death for his reputation.

Some people even discussed whether Hailey was too perverted and excessive, and such behavior was not advisable.

And before the release of the film, MGM did not build yì men to go, although it was recognized by the men during the screening of the film.

But at this moment, most of them denied their fear of watching the film, but stubbornly believed that this film was not enough to make them afraid, and this view also affected many people who had not seen the film.

At ten o'clock in the morning, yesterday's box office statistics were also released.

Michael Meihua's 20 million "Alien Dog" was released on a large scale in 3,225 theaters across the United States, and the single theater only received $1,129, with a total of 3.64 million.

Directed by the Coen Brothers and starring superstars like George Clooney, "True Love" with a 30 million investment from Universal has been painted in 2,600 theaters.

However, with a big director and a popular superstar, he only got $4 million in a single day, which is enough to make Universal feel bad.

And "Haunted House of Death", which is also a thriller, is a bit bad, with 300 fewer companies than "Hard Candy" originally released.

However, it is not like "Hard Candy" theaters, which basically come from non-six theaters, but even so, it only earned less than $2 million in the end.

The screening of "Mystic River" received less than $200,000, and the box office of a single theater reached $18,000.

The most eye-catching of the table is last week's box office champions "Rock School" and "Kill Bill 1", which won 5 million and 8 million box office respectively.

A quick glance at the other films, Eric Lomis' thoughts were the same.

"Limited Time Pursuit" only got more than 10 million last week, which basically means a loss.

And yesterday it only got $2.52 million, and the box office of a single museum was only a pitiful $800.

This result made Eric Lomis's heart happy, and he was looking forward to "Hard Fruit Candy".

looked at "Hard Fruit Candy", which was released in 1888 theaters in North America, with a box office income of 11.24 million and a single box office of 6,000 US dollars.

Matthew Ronte looked at Yahoo Entertainment's headline title, "One-Day Champion, Justin's Miracle Continues," and the corners of his mouth twitched.

In the Lionsgate chairman's office, James Budge had his head down, and in front of him was a Los Angeles Times newspaper with "Miracle Three, Justin Chen."

Below the eye-catching headline is $1 million = ?.

Steve Bickers looked at James Bucky in front of him without any face: "Give you the last three days, you can't resign!" (To be continued......)

PS: The third update arrived, although it was very late, but it still arrived, ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!
