Chapter 527: Midnight Field
"Jurassic Park" is aiming for a billion box office. ”
"Jurassic Park" premiere is now a spoiler, Williams announced that the new film will hit the global box office mark of one billion dollars. ”
"The director of "Jurassic Park" released a billion bold statement, and the inventory of movies with one billion box office potential in Hollywood history. ”
“……”
Not surprisingly, the day after the premiere, the media exploded because of Eric's remarks last night.
If Eric had promoted Jurassic Park as a box office expectation of 1.52 billion at the time, it would have been dismissed as a joke by most of the media, but this figure is a billion dollars, which is only 200 million dollars away from Hollywood's current highest-grossing film, but although this gap seems to be within reach, no one has been able to break it.
As early as 1977, the first part of "Star Wars" swept the global box office of 770 million US dollars, but in the following ten years, although there have been many movies with a global box office of more than 700 million US dollars, no film has ever been able to break through the figure of 800 million US dollars, so some professional box office evaluation agencies have said more than once that 800 million US dollars may be the global box office limit of a movie.
However, in recent years, anyone who cares about the film industry can clearly find that the world film market is expanding rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. As a result, Eric's prediction of a billion dollars for "Jurassic Park" has formed two factions in just one day, with clear positions for and against, and both sides seem to be able to produce very good evidence to prove themselves right.
The trend of pinching each other in the media has once again hyped the topic of "Jurassic Park" to the highest point. At the same time, Eric's intention to release these words was also successfully achieved, and not many people cared about the matter of "Jeary Bear Peak" anymore.
After receiving that call from Eric's assistant, Mario Casal, CEO of Carroch Films, was angry and aggrieved. Although he knows a little about that matter, it is MGM's publishing team that specifically proposes and executes the plan, and it really has nothing to do with him.
Although he was wronged, Mario Casal did not dare to ignore it, contacted the person in charge of MGM overnight, and forcefully stopped MGM's plan to continue to rely on "Jurassic Park" for hype, and MGM certainly did not agree at first. However, after hearing Mario Casal recount the phone call he received, he had to stop talking, and Caroc did not dare to offend the fireflies. MGM didn't dare even more so in the storm.
The North American premiere of "Jurassic Park" took place on Wednesday, June 2, so while the topic of the billion-dollar box office thrown by Eric caused controversy, the controversy did not reach the point of white-hot proportions. Because the topic was generated the next day. When it comes to the day when "Jurassic Park" will be released in 3,000 theaters across the United States, everyone knows that in just a few days, the real box office numbers will become the most convincing tool.
After another solid day of six hours of training, at about five o'clock in the afternoon, the exhausted three girls returned to their apartments, and as usual, they collapsed in their bedrooms to regain their strength. I thought that after surviving the initial period of time, the next training would be much easier. Recently, however, they discovered that their training schedule had progressively increased over time. Although it didn't reach the limit of what they could bear, it was definitely able to exhaust all the energy of the day.
It wasn't until it was dark outside that the three girls walked out of the bedroom.
Penelope came out late and saw the two girls watching TV in the living room and asked, "What do you eat at night?"
"Whatever," Theron replied.
"It doesn't matter," Kate said.
"Oh, I haven't eaten either of these dishes you mentioned," Penelope joked and headed towards the kitchen, where the three girls had agreed to take turns cooking, and it was her turn today.
After a brief dinner, the three girls gathered on the sofa in the living room again and watched TV.
When I'm bored, time often flies, and before I know it, it's more than ten o'clock in the night.
Charlize Theron glanced at Penelope, who was absent-mindedly holding a fashion magazine on the single sofa on the left, and then at Kate, who was staring at the TV on the right: "Hey, you ......."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Both women remained unchanged, but each uttered a confused syllable.
Charlize Theron keenly sensed something unusual, but glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, "...... you guys Did you buy a ticket?"
"What?"
"Tickets?"
Charlize Theron paused for a moment before slowly spitting out two words: "Jurassic Park." ”
Silent.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
Then, Kate and Penelope laughed together, laughing and picking up someone's old accounts.
"Haha, who said last night, if you buy a ticket, give it to the homeless," Penelope said, repeating in the accent of Charlize the imitator, "I will never go." ”
"Haha, Penny, you know what, this condition is called ...... in psychology Ah, why are you beating me, oops, you're still fighting, don't think I can't beat you, look at the move!"
Huhulala......
Plop da-da-da......
After a period of frolicking, the three girls walked out of the apartment together, Kate and Penelope were still giggling, and the embarrassment on Charlize's face did not completely dissipate, and from time to time they quarreled with the other two women.
Driving all the way to downtown Santa Monica, the three girls were surprised to find that there was a long queue in front of the movie theater, and there were hundreds of people.
"Wouldn't they all come to Jurassic Park?" asked Penelope, a little smacked.
"There will definitely be other movies released tomorrow, but the only one that can make fans queue up overnight to buy tickets is definitely "Jurassic Park"," Kate looked at the crowd, took out the ticket she bought in the morning with a slight sense of superiority and shook it in her hand, and suddenly turned to Charlize again: "Charlie." You say I'm right, right?"
"What's my business!" Charlize reached out and grabbed a ticket from Kate, turned around and left, "I'll go buy popcorn first, you two wait." ”
"I want it creamy. Penelope hurriedly commanded, watching Charlize leave, Penelope and Kate walked into the cinema hall together. The time had reached half past eleven, and under the bright lights in the hall, the two women found the entrance of the screening hall, looked at the crowd that continued to walk in, and couldn't help but say: "If our movie is released in the future." It would be nice to be able to have this kind of scene as well. ”
"I've heard that the script was written by Eric Williams himself, and that none of his previous scripts have failed, so I think it's going to be very popular. Kate said.
"Hopefully, I don't want to go back to Spain, where I won't be able to get a movie for a long time, and I'd better stay in Hollywood. Penelope finished. Inexplicably, he sighed again: "It's been more than a month." ”
Although this sentence seems a bit clueless, Kate knows that Penelope is talking about the fact that both of them have been in Hollywood for more than a month, and Eric Williams has not appeared, and only Charlize Theron has met that person before that.
The level difference between the two sides is too far, and Kate can't guess the other party's daily life, but she also feels it in her heart. Since Eric Williams can do so much at such a young age, he must be very busy. As for Penelope's mind. It's better to guess, in the past month or so in Hollywood, she has almost taken out every bit of her meeting with Eric Williams from Charlize Theron, although only Charlize has seen Williams among the three, but if you want to say that she is most familiar with him, it must be Penelope, so it is obvious what she has in mind.
However, Kate is not optimistic about Penelope's careful thinking, Eric Williams is not only a Hollywood director, but also a billionaire, such a Hollywood super Kaizi, I don't know how many women are staring, how can it be Penelope's turn to be a newcomer to Spain.
After a while, Charlize came over with a bunch of snacks, and the two girls picked some and walked into the screening room together.
"Wow, so many people," I just saw people coming in, but when I walked into the screening room, I found that there were no more empty seats in the screening room of 200 people.
"It's all your fault, it's taken so long to buy a snack," Penelope said to Charlize.
Charlize was reluctant: "How can you blame me, you asked for creamy popcorn, it just happened to be sold out, I can only wait for a while." ”
Kate interrupted the two girls: "You two don't quarrel, look at the front there, there are still a few empty seats, let's hurry over." ”
The vacant seats with excellent views were long gone, and the three girls could only find three consecutive vacant seats in the second row at the front and sit down.
Not long after I sat down, the lights in the screening room dimmed.
The story begins outside an unknown building, where heavily armed workers carefully dock a container with the entrance to the building, but despite being very cautious, an accident still happens, a worker is suddenly dragged into the container without knowing something, although several electric batons immediately stick through the gap in the container, but when the worker is dragged out, only half of his body remains.
In a flash of footage, the eyes of a murderous beast were revealed.
Seeing this eye, the audience in the movie theater who was holding their breath because they were drawn by the terrifying atmosphere created by the beginning whispered.
"That's a dinosaur eye, right?" Penelope whispered.
Charlize shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully: "Look, it's still the same as in the trailer, only a part of it is revealed." ”
Kate said in a low voice: "Charlie, this is obviously your personal prejudice, at least I think that eye just now is like a living, there is no trace of a model at all, you must know that this is a dinosaur, not those lions and tigers that can pull real living creatures to shoot, since Eric Williams can make the eyes so realistic, then the complete dinosaur will definitely not let us down." ”
"Well, I think so too," Penelope nodded in agreement.
As the three chat, the scene begins to switch between an amber mine in Dominica and a dinosaur fossil excavation site.
The audience gradually understood the cause of everything.
In order to continue the Jurassic Park project, Dr. Hammond invited dinosaur archaeologist Dr. Alan Grant, chaos scientist Malcolm and his own lawyer to visit Dinosaur Island in Costa Rica, in an attempt to get these very influential people in the industry to speak out for Jurassic Park. At the same time, he also invited his grandson and granddaughter.
All adventures are triggered by this.
On the helicopter to Costa Rica, Dr. Hammond surprised the men by never revealing his true purpose.
The group landed on the island's tarmac and took a jeep to the base. As they passed through a flat meadow, the people who were discussing their respective topics suddenly froze and looked shocked.
The camera rotated and swept towards everyone's field of vision, and the audience in the theater suddenly let out a faint exclamation.
On the grassland, several long-necked dragons that were seven or eight meters tall were wandering gracefully on the grassland, and one long-necked dragon also stopped, stood on tiptoe to eat the young leaves on the top of the tree, and when it landed, because of its heavy size, it also made a muffled bang, shaking the earth.
Seeing this scene, in the dim light, Kate stared intently at the screen, but said to Charlize: "What do you say now?"
"Anyway...... It's all fake anyway," Charlize still stiff-mouthed.
Both women smiled softly and ignored her.
The camera continues to advance, and after the long-necked dragon, groups of various dinosaurs appear in the vast field of view, allowing the audience to feast their eyes again.
After giving the audience a few surprises, the plot begins to get to the point, the group came to the dinosaur hatchery base to see the resurrection process of the dinosaurs, although one researcher said that all the dinosaurs in the park were female, but the chaos scientist Malcolm still expressed strong concerns about this behavior of reversing the course of nature.
After visiting the dinosaur hatchery, Dr. Hammond arranged for Dr. Grant and his two grandsons to visit Jurassic Park in a self-driving jeep, and the real adventure began.
The whole visit was in constant condition at the beginning, all the dinosaurs were almost not very popular, and the first triceratops that I met was sick.
At the same time, Dennis, the fat man who was in charge of the programming of the entire park, turned off the park's power grid in order to steal the embryos of the dinosaurs, and carnivorous dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex and velociraptor escaped from the cage, causing a series of disasters.
