Lin Zhiling's role is the female classmate who has a little ambiguity with the protagonist Elliott.

In the play, the two characters originally had a direct kiss scene.

But-

Although Elliott's actor Henry Thomas was still just a child, Xu Cun did not hesitate to change the scene to a misplace.

By the way, in order to shoot this anatomy class scene, Jeffrey took a lot of effort to help Xu Cun buy thousands of frogs.

After the filming of this scene, Lin Zhiling's scene in "ET" was completed.

Xu Cun asked a DreamWorks employee who was familiar with Hollywood to take Lin Zhiling's family of three to Hollywood for a few days. After that, Xu Cun personally sent Lin Zhiling and her parents to the airport.

On the occasion of separation, Lin Zhiling hugged Xu Cun's neck and cried to death, saying that he was unwilling to part with Xu Cun!

At this moment, a trace of fatherly love appeared in Xu Cun's heart!

However, as soon as this undesirable emotion appeared, it was snuffed out by Xu Cun - what he wanted was the No. 1 beauty in Taiwan, not a father! Besides, even if he really wants to be a father, he can let his woman give birth to a few for himself, so why make a fake one?

……

On the day that Lin Zhiling's family left Hollywood, Jeffrey brought Xu Cun good news - Twentieth Century Fox Film Company was willing to release "Royal Sister".

Speaking of which, this matter has to be thanked to Zou Wenhuai.

When Zou Wenhuai came to Hollywood, he also brought "Lucky Stars" to Hollywood.

Later, Zou Wenhuai used his Hollywood connections to find Alain Ryder Jr., the general manager of Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, to watch the sample film in "Lucky Stars".

Alan Ryder Jr. is not only the general manager of Twentieth Century Fox Films, he is also the head of Twentieth Century Fox. Ten years ago, when Twentieth Century Fox was in crisis, Alan Ryder Jr. was appointed from production manager to head of the company, immediately changing his style to target the company's audience at young people, producing a series of blockbuster films such as "Star Wars" and "General Patton" that brought Fox back to life.

The kung fu scenes, gunfight scenes, and large-scale stunt scenes in "Lucky Stars" all made little Alain Ryder's eyes shine. Although, because of cultural and other differences, Alain Ryder Jr. is not too interested in the comedy part of "Lucky Stars", but after watching "Lucky Stars", Alain Ryder Jr. still agreed to release "Lucky Stars", and Alain Ryder Jr. has 100 theaters as soon as he comes out.

At the time of the screening.

The advanced shooting techniques and beautiful and mature action scenes of "Lucky Stars" brought unexpected joy to the American audience - Hollywood action movies, and it was not until the 90s that a large number of Hong Kong martial arts instructors went to Hollywood, and their action scenes were truly pleasing to the eye. At this time, seeing a gorgeous Chinese kung fu different from Li Xiaolong at first glance is almost like watching Americans watch "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for the first time or Chinese watching "Jurassic Park".

Moreover, the fights in "Lucky Stars" are also counted in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, the beauty G audience was naturally attracted by the gorgeous fights in "Lucky Stars".

There is also a flying car scene in "Lucky Stars", and the fatal flying car scene really stunned the beautiful G audience.

All of this subverts the consistent impression of American G audiences on Chinese-language films, and the Chinese in the film no longer wear long robes and short coats, but live modern people. It is full of modern urban elements and satisfies the curiosity of the American audience about Hong Kong and Japan.

Therefore, although the average attendance rate of 100 theaters screening five times a day in the first week of "Lucky Stars" was only a pitiful 30%, in the second week, the average attendance rate of 100 theaters screening five times a day rose to 50% and a half, and by the third week, the average attendance rate of 100 theaters screening five times a day had risen to 80%.

Twentieth Century Fox Film Company saw that "Lucky Stars" had a good momentum, and increased the publicity of "Lucky Stars" and increased the number of theaters showing "Lucky Stars".

By the fourth week, 15 cinemas had shown five performances a day, and the average attendance rate of "Lucky Stars" had to become more than 60%.

This went on for two weeks, and then the average attendance of "Lucky Stars" suddenly plummeted, jumping to three and a half percent.

By the seventh week, the average attendance rate of "Lucky Stars" dropped to less than 30%, and before the end of the seventh week, "Lucky Stars" was drawn.

In total, the box office of "Lucky Stars" in North America totaled $29.8 million.

Zou Wenhuai and Alain Ryder Jr.'s box office share ratio is 19%.

In other words, at the North American box office of "Lucky Stars", Golden Harvest and DreamWorks can share a total of $5.6 million.

After adding 5 to 21, Xu Cunneng received 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which is converted into 21 million Hong Kong dollars.

This result is quite good, second only to the results of Li Xiaolong's film in the United States.

Alan Ryder Jr. didn't expect an Asian film to do so well. So when he learned that Jeffrey had found the distribution department of Twentieth Century Fox with "The Royal Sister," which was directed by the same director as "Lucky Stars," he met with Jeffrey in person.

After watching the sample film of "Royal Sister", little Alain Ryder is a joy!

Compared with "Lucky Stars", which added many funny scenes that Westerners can't understand, "Royal Sister", a purely commercial movie, should be more suitable for North American audiences. Alain Ryder Jr. is even sure that "Royal Sister" will surpass "Lucky Stars".

The only regret for Alain Ryder Jr. is that the first to be released is "Lucky Stars" - in this way, the shock brought by "Royal Sister" must be much smaller, otherwise "Royal Sister" is likely to become a dark horse at the box office this year.

However, despite this, "Royal Sister" should be enough for Twentieth Century Fox to make a good income.

Based on this, Alan Ryder Jr. also gave DreamWorks a fixed 19% box office share. Moreover, because "Lucky Stars" has already tested the waters, Alan Ryder Jr. arranged 200 theaters for "Royal Sister" as soon as he came up.

In addition, Alain Ryder Jr. also promised that if "Sister Royal" could grossing more than $40 million at the North American box office, then Twentieth Century Fox would package the distribution of "Sister Royal" in Central and South America and Europe at market price.

In other words, as long as "Royal Sister" can achieve a box office of more than $40 million in North America, then Xu Cun may open the door to the global film world with "Lucky Stars" and "Royal Sister".
