Chapter 0864 - If you want to save face, then wait for next year

Of course, Tang Huan also has an excuse, he wants to attend the world premiere of the first "007" that is more than the original time and space. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's still the usual old place - the Odien Cinema in Leicester Square, London; They are also distinguished old guests - Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

The slight difference is that in addition to the first few years of joining Luen Mei Company, the richest man who no longer appeared on this occasion also came.

The Audian Cinema is also the venue for the British royal film performances, and the premiere is preceded by the events organized by the Prince's Trust, Charity, a charity founded by Charles in 1976, and the box office revenue of the film will contribute 200,000 pounds as a donation.

"You didn't mean to stagger the time, did you?" Charles saw a loophole and made a joke about the small friction between Tang Huan and John Major.

Tang Shoufu shrugged his shoulders, "If you have to speculate in a bad direction, no matter how much I explain, it's useless." ”

Diana interjected, "Prime Minister Major seems to be lacking patience with Don. ”

Charles raised his eyebrows, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything.

Tang Huan, who took this scene into his eyes, shook his head secretly, it was really difficult for this royal couple who looked like they were separated - Diana couldn't leave Charles for a moment before, and she couldn't pull Charles's heart over; Now that she has devoted all her energy to official business, charity, and the two little princes, her relationship with her husband has become more and more estranged.

It is no exaggeration to say that after getting the "ignition" of Mr. the richest man, Diana, who acted actively, gained greater prestige than the original time and space, and even surpassed Charles.

As a member of the royal family, Diana accompanied Charles to Nigeria and Cameroon in Africa in March alone, and then to Hungary in Eastern Europe in May. Finally, in November, he attended the enthronement ceremony of Emperor RB Akihito.

This year, Diana first visited Pakistan on her own, and then took a trip to Brazil with Charles.

You know, that's just part of the business.

During Diana's time, she arranged a large number of charity activities, especially for those who unfortunately suffered from AIDS~AIDS, leprosy and other infectious diseases, and extended a helping hand - a real handshake, which was in stark contrast to the performance of most people who did not dare to contact the group, and was praised by the British media as "the great princess of the commoners".

According to Tang Huan's understanding, the British royal family's attitude towards the Welsh princess is complicated.

In terms of fulfilling her royal duties, Diana, who performed even better than Charles, was naturally impeccable; But in some details, it can't help but make people's heads big. For example, during the visit, Diana's frank questions at some times will make the other party feel more embarrassed and damage diplomatic etiquette.

Further, Diana was too active, even bordering on radical, to go against some of the traditions of the British royal family, especially when the light overshadowed Charles and firmly controlled the two young British princes she had born.

As for her private life, Diana found Charles a bunch of colored hats without revenge, but she was also gossiped about and chased by the tabloids.

The main reason is that the Princess of Wales and the richest man's family, more precisely, the female ship king Christina, are too close - these two extraordinary women, with their respective children, go to sea together on a luxury yacht, it is simply commonplace.

A typical wave caused by this is the media revelation that Eton College illegally admitted Aristotle Onassis and Socrates Onassis, the sons of the female ship king Christina, and Diana exerted her influence in it.

In response to the fierce doubts, Christina, the female boat king, gave an explanation with her nostrils to the sky - my son was admitted with real ability; Diana's attitude was also unimpressive - I was just helping to say a word about the age limit.

Compared to the energy possessed by these two women, their nonsense can only be regarded as harmless, but it must have made the British royal family, who seek to create a perfect public image, dissatisfied.

Even Tang Huan noticed the change in Charles's expression, and Diana, who was so sensitive, could find it with her eyes closed and rely on intuition. However, she now enjoys the sense of accomplishment that makes the British royal family feel extremely tangled, and she doesn't care as much about Charles's attitude towards her as much as before.

It can be said that this Welsh princess is still the same as the original time and space, blackened, but the pattern has changed.

Directly ignoring her husband's depression, Diana said to the richest man: "The summer vacation is coming, Christina and I organized a summer camp for the children, can Don participate and be a teacher once?" ”

Tang Huan shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I don't have time." ”

Diana snorted dissatisfiedly, "You men, find excuses, and you have a lot of them." ”

Charles coughed lightly and reminded, "The movie begins." ”

His Royal Highness the Prince's praise for "007" is well known, after all, James Bond is an icon of the United Kingdom.

However, "007", which is basically released every two years, has almost become a routine, even if it finds some inspiration from the legendary deeds of the lone hero of the richest man in Tang, the innovation is relatively limited, nothing more than the Bond girl has been replaced with an Asian face, James Bond's suit is more stylish, the car is more luxurious, and the equipment is more advanced...... And so on and so forth.

The latest "007", called "Clone Crisis", is roughly as follows: The biologist played by Zhou Yunfa has disappeared, and even the biological cloning technology he studied is gone; And Lin Qingbian's sister, an archaeologist, got the news and began to look for her younger brother; At the same time, the British MI6 has long been extremely concerned about cloning technology, so it sent its ace agent 007 to investigate.

The gimmick of spending money on the side of Mr. Richest Man is still quite effective - "007: The Clone Crisis" won nearly $30 million at the box office in the United Kingdom and the United States in the first week, and according to this trend, there is no doubt that it will basically create a new revenue record.

You must know that due to the background of the economic recession, the film market has inevitably been affected by the impact that cannot be ignored, and this year's summer file is obviously colder than last year and the year before that.

Therefore, the hit screening of "007: Clone Crisis" is very rare.

However, despite the help of the richest man, "007: The Clone Crisis" was not the biggest winner, and ultimately lost to James Cameron's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" - in its first weekend, it grossed nearly $32 million in the United States, setting a new record for this indicator; In the first five days, it received a whopping $60 million at the box office, which was $3 million more than Warner's "Batman" the year before.

The owner of a chain theater in the United States excitedly told the media: "The enthusiastic scene when "Batman" was released the year before last is still impressive; But this year, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" has triggered an even more frenzied wave of movie-watching, and tickets for any of our movie theaters have been snapped up, and everyone is talking about this movie! ”

There is no doubt that James Cameron's production team is a hit. But under the infinite scenery, it cannot be ignored that the director's style, which has been sharpened for several years, has been "accustomed" by the richest man.

It has been 6 years since the public release of "Terminator", the pioneering work, and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is long overdue. You know, it didn't have any copyright disputes like the original time and space, which caused delays; Moreover, in terms of technically difficult film special effects, it has received almost doting child support.

This special treatment can be seen from the production cost of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day". It cost $100 million to shoot, about four times the average budget for a Hollywood film at this stage – surpassing Cleopatra's 1963 and setting a new all-time record if inflation is not taken into account.

One of the reasons why "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" can make audiences mesmerized and flocked to it is the thrilling action scenes and jaw-dropping visual effects piled up with real money.

James Cameron searched the United States to find a steel mill that matched the plot of the movie, and finally after weeks of negotiations, he settled on a factory in Fontana, California, which was under renovation. In order to match the office building of Cyberdyne, which is closely related to the birth of "Skynet", it rented an industrial park in Fremont, in the southeast of the San Francisco Bay Area, which was filmed with a lot of stunts, shootings, explosions and other destructive scenes, and it still looks chaotic.

The cost of filming "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," including the production of special effects, totaled $51 million.

However, the richest man Tang didn't care, because he ran the visual effects and computer imaging involved in it as a separate industry, and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" also made substantial breakthroughs in these areas, as expected, and the huge success from both business and criticism is also proof of this.

……

The day after the world premiere of "007: The Clone Crisis", when Charles came to Tang Huan, he happened to see Mr. The richest man signing a document. The above includes an agreement to give star Arnold Schwarzenegger a $12 million Gulfstream III business jet and director James Cameron $6 million.

Charles, who was tall, saw these contents at a casual glance, and he couldn't help but say, "You are really generous, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is now making hundreds of millions of dollars?" ”

"It's going to take a while longer to get concrete results." Tang Huan, who laughed, replied calmly.

In fact, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", which has invested a huge amount, has now paid for itself - after operation, the current global release rights revenue alone is close to $70 million; Revenues from the distribution rights of videotapes and VCDs exceeded $12.5 million.

There is no doubt that "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" will be the most profitable movie of 1991.

The richest man's vague words, of course, could not fool Charles. However, he did not delve into it, and there was another task on this trip.

"Prime Minister John Major has returned to the UK from Asia at the end of his visit to China, and the construction plan for the new airport in Hong Kong has come to a perfect conclusion. You two might as well take this opportunity to meet at 10 Downing Street to clear up some minor misunderstandings. Charles struggled to be a peacemaker.

Before getting on the plane, John Major told reporters that "it is worth taking this step for the sake of British interests", but in fact he was angry that he had become the first political ~ head of government in a Western country to visit China.

When the Governor of Hong Kong called Tang Huan in private, John Major never gave him a good face, believing that he was incompetent, and bluntly said that the compromise policy no longer applies to China and must be tough in the future.

In this case, Tang Huan believes that John Major is not angry with himself, which is too naΓ―ve; And he wanted to meet with himself, just under pressure.

"I'm afraid the itinerary won't be scheduled." The richest man looked rather helpless and shrugged, "I am about to leave for China, which has suffered a rare flood and is in urgent need of international assistance, including Xiangjiang, and there will be a series of important charity events that I have to attend." ”

This summer's devastating flooding in eastern China is already international news, and China is the first time that China has made an appeal to the United Nations for international assistance. After attending the world premiere of "007: The Clone Crisis", Lin Qingfang, Zhou Yunfa and others hurriedly returned to Xiangjiang to participate in the large-scale charity fundraising activities held by the literary and art circles there. Mr. the richest man, who has important interests in China, naturally has to take active action.

I have to say that as long as Tang Huan wants to shirk, he can always find the most appropriate excuse.

After listening to this, Charles muttered helplessly: "Can't you give me a face, adjust the itinerary, anyway, it won't delay much." ”

"If you want to save face, then wait until next year." Tang Huan quipped, and there was a sense of meaning in his tone.

Charles understands that Tang Huan's unhappiness with John Major is not so easy to eliminate, so let's wait until next year, time is indeed a good way to extinguish anger, I just hope that the two sides will not take actions to deepen the misunderstanding.

Dizzy, careless. When I woke up in the morning, I found that because of the snow, I had to cut off the power until the afternoon, and the manuscript was still stored on the desktop, so I couldn't turn it on. Fortunately, it is a solid state drive, which can be removed and packed in a mobile hard drive box, and can be directly used as a USB flash drive, so that it can be uploaded through the mobile phone.
