Chapter 862: Super Vitality
Originally, Fox expected that "Avatar", which has entered the "rush to see four" week, will usher in a real test next week, because the New Year's holiday in the United States will end and return to normal life and rest. 【Full text reading】The network is worth your collection. lxs520。 The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy fell by an average of 40% over the same period next weekend, and "King Kong" fell by more than 49%. Ideally, Avatar should make at least $40 million by the end of next week, and the total should be close to or even more than that of Pirates of the Caribbean 2.4 $200 million - if this is the case, the 500 million level can be successfully conquered, and "Star Wars Episode: A New Hope", which has reigned on the box office of science fiction movies for 42 years, will also abdicate to the throne.
All of these achievements are so brilliant and dazzling...... It was enough to excite James Cameron and his backer Edward Murdoch.
But at this time, they sat silently at their desks, looking at all kinds of data, and they didn't look happy at all.
After a long time, Edward raised his head and asked only one sentence with a complicated expression: "James...... Do you think The Dark Knight can catch up with us? ”
"In North America...... Yes. James Cameron looked a little dazed and said: "In the global box office market, probably not." ”
As he spoke, they all looked at the line of words on the report in their hands: "The Dark Knight" was released for 4 days, with a North American box office of $28.6 billion and a global box office of $4.1 billion...... It is expected that the North American box office will reach 350 million this week, and the global box office will exceed 500 million ......"
At this time, Edward muttered softly in an inaudible voice, as if he was talking to himself:
"If Gu Xiaofan wakes up now...... momentum of "The Dark Knight" will come to an abrupt halt, if he dies...... I'm afraid this movie has the hope of surpassing "Titanic" to become the new global box office champion......"
The goals of "Avatar" and "The Dark Knight" are actually the same, who can take the lead in hitting the line of "Titanic" 600 million in North America and 1.8 billion US dollars in the world's all-time box office champion......?
Who would have thought that the answer to this question, which is about to determine the peak height of film history, would actually depend on the life and death of an actor?
UCA Medical Center, at this time, outside one of the best hospitals in Los Angeles and even in the United States, groups of media reporters and paparazzi are nervously tracking the development of the situation, Gu Xiaofan's injured appearance, and who will visit him, Joanne's face on the wall and other photos are worth thousands of dollars, all news.
If Gu Xiaofan died suddenly, it would really be big news that could not be missed, of course they had to hold the stronghold.
On the other hand, many media text editors and reporters have even written a press release on "The Death of Shooting Hero Gu Xiaofan".
Now the news that the reporters have received is that if Gu Xiaofan is sent to the hospital ten minutes late, he will definitely not be able to be saved.
Gu Xiaofan's diagnosed injuries are very serious, there are as many as 13 gunshot wounds alone, which may lead to physical disabilities, but these are not the focus now.
He is unconscious, the most important thing is excessive blood loss, resulting in a long-term lack of oxygen to the brain, all problems involving the brain can be large or small, although this condition does not require surgical treatment, but "consciousness disorder" is its most prominent clinical manifestation, because the injury is different from the individual, the coma time can range from minutes to hours, days, months, and even prolonged coma (more than 3 months).
Even the most serious thing is that the brainstem reflex will disappear at any time, stop breathing spontaneously, and enter a state of brain death......
There is a lot of speculation from the outside world, but for the doctors of UCA Hospital, this special patient's condition is far more serious than the outside world expected.
Late at night, Gu Xiaofan's attending doctor, Johansen, was looking at Gu Xiaofan's series of examination data, and sighed while watching:
"I'm afraid it won't work this time, brain damage caused by excessive blood loss, accompanied by organ failure, and complications after the wound is sutured...... I'm afraid people can't be saved. ”
The assistant next to him also sighed: "Yes, such a serious trauma, and complications from wound infection...... It's a miracle that he's been able to hold on until now, but I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight......"
This kind of seriously injured patient, after resuscitation, has a traumatic infection of the wound, which is the most helpless thing for the surgeon.
Just as the two of them were sighing helplessly, they suddenly heard the nurse screaming when they entered the door: "Dr. Johansen, go and see ~ the patient's fever has subsided~!" The patient's fever has subsided~"
Johansen was stunned, and hurriedly rushed to Gu Xiaofan's ward with his assistant, and after entering the door, his eyes widened when he looked at the data on the instrument.
"How is that possible? Are all his complications gone? Is the fever really gone? "There are no symptoms of infection in the latest examination, and the wounds on the shoulder and abdomen are recovering very well......
Johansen looked at the shape of the wound on the computer screen, and shouted with his mouth wide open, "Ellie, find me the picture of his wound three days ago." ”
The assistant took out the previous photo and compared it, and the American surgeon was stunned and surprised: "His wound has only been growing for three days?" How does it seem to be a month of recovery? Incredible, unbelievable......"
After some careful examination, Johansen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself again and again: "What a miracle, I have never seen anyone so resilient...... He was out of danger. ”
The assistant also wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed: "The cells in his body really seem to be monsters...... Such a serious infection can heal on its own, but unfortunately his brain is damaged and may not recover. ”
"Then it can only depend on his personal will......" Johansen looked at Gu Xiaofan who was full of instruments and tubes on the hospital bed, and said with great emotion: "I don't know why, I think he will definitely wake up......"
"I think so too." The assistant also said with a strange face, and the two looked at each other, both of them felt that it was incredible that they would say this, because in terms of data, the probability of Gu Xiaofan waking up was very small.
But as the instinct of doctors, they clearly felt that Gu Xiaofan's vigorous life was boiling at this distance, as if he was not a patient at all, but a baby developing in his mother's body...... The future is full of possibilities.
After confirming that Gu Xiaofan's current condition is stable, Johansen finally decided to disclose Gu Xiaofan's condition to the outside world.
Because this incident is very important, not only about the safety of Gu Xiaofan's patient himself, but also affecting the decision-making of Warner, News Corporation, and Chinese capital, UCA Gu Xiaofan's team of doctors, after following the consent of Gu Xiaofan's family, decided to convene a medical ventilation meeting and convene relevant stakeholders to announce his illness.
Now the media is in an uproar......
