Chapter 896: Madness Before the Release [Three Watches]

Lin Youlun made an amazing box office prediction, and with the broadcast of this episode of "Oprah Talk Show", it immediately caused an uproar in the United States.

On the second day of the show's broadcast, many newspapers in the United States commented on the matter, and most of the media were not optimistic that Lin Youlun's prediction could come true, and some people even directly made sarcastic remarks.

"He must be crazy about the box office, what will be the record-breaking movie box office? $600 million isn't enough, I think it has to be at least $700 million, but in fact no movie can gross more than $700 million, and if there is, then I'm going to run naked on the street. ”

A famous male host of a TV station said directly in his own program, thinking that no one would take it seriously, but the local media hyped up the matter for a while, and the most troublesome thing was that almost the whole United States knew that there was a guy who promised that as long as "Jurassic Park" box office exceeded 700 million US dollars, he would go naked on the street.

Compared with the media's radical and hyperactive rhetoric, Hollywood film professionals are more sensible, one of the senior producers said in an interview with the media: "Although I don't believe that there is a film that can exceed $700 million at the box office, it does not mean that this is completely impossible, and anyone who has seen this film at the Hong Kong International Film Festival will not easily draw such a conclusion." This film does have the potential to hit the record, because of Spielberg's directorial prowess, because of George Lucas's industrial light and magic, and because of Lin Youlun - no matter how much we don't like this guy, we must admit that he has never missed the North American market since "Tales of the Night". Notice when I say 'never'. And this is in the United States. Grossing more than $700 million may seem like a difficult thing for us to do, but maybe tomorrow it will happen suddenly and surprise everyone! ”

The producer's words were widely accepted by other Hollywood film professionals, and some further analyzed the possibility of "Jurassic Park" grossing more than $700 million from a realistic perspective.

"If the film can maintain the same level of performance as a whole in the trailer, there is no doubt that it will grossing more than $300 million in North America, the only uncertainty is whether it will exceed $400 million, and overseas, the Asian region should be able to generate at least $100 million at the box office. Then there is Europe and the rest of the world combined for at least $200 million to $300 million, so it seems that it is still very possible to break $700 million at the box office. ”

The emergence of this analysis has greatly reversed the media's attitude towards the $700 million box office, but the majority of people are still skeptical, and more people choose to wait and see.

For ordinary people, no one particularly cares about the box office of "Jurassic Park" exceeding $700 million, they are more concerned about how good the movie is.

Originally, Universal invested a lot of money in the early promotion of "Jurassic Park", and now after such a heated discussion in the media, almost all Americans know the news that this movie is about to be released.

Guan Zhilin came out of the shower. saw Lin Youlun sitting in front of the TV with a sheet.

"Watching the news?"

Guan Zhilin sat sideways on the bed and hugged Lin Youlun from behind. Two thin lips kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Lin Youlun raised his hand and patted Guan Zhilin's face gently, but his eyes kept staring at the TV screen.

Guan Zhilin looked at the TV curiously, wondering what kind of program Lu Dao attracted Lin Youlun's attention so much.

"Tomorrow is the official release day of "Jurassic Park", and in some cities in Texas, there have been long queues in front of movie theaters overnight, these people are fans who want to watch the movie for the first time, and some of them even brought tents to spend the night here...... Let's follow the photographer's lens and interview some of them randomly. ”

After the host finished the delivery, he walked over to the people who were queuing up over there, and the camera camera followed him.

"Hey man, are you going to get in line for a ticket?"

The host came to a tent that had been set up and handed the microphone to the man inside.

"Yes, I've brought a sleeping bag, all kinds of food, and my best friend, Totti!"

The man showed the photographer all the gear he had brought, most notably his pet dog.

"Hello, Totti!" The host said hello to the man's pet dog, and then returned to the movie "Jurassic Park".

"Why would you want to queue up overnight to buy a ticket?"

"Because I am an obsessive lover of paleontology, I also wrote a paper on the resurrection of paleontology in college, which was almost published in an authoritative magazine, but when I learned that "Jurassic Park" was about to be made into a movie, I was very excited, and at that time I decided to see this movie for the first time, originally I was planning to go to Hong Kong last month, but unfortunately there were some accidents on the way, so I had to buy tickets for the premiere, I can't wait to see those dinosaurs resurrected in the movie!"

After speaking, the man also imitated the call of a dinosaur in front of the camera to prove that he was very good at it.

"Well, this is an obsessive dinosaur lover, let's hear from others again!" The host waved goodbye to the man, and then came to a middle-aged woman.

"I'm a big fan of Spielberg, and I watched all his movies for the first time, and this time was an exception!" In front of the camera, she said.

"It seems that the charm of the great director is really extraordinary!" The host sighed with emotion, and then walked to the next interviewer.

"Originally, I didn't have any interest in this movie, but I heard that if this movie grosses more than $700 million, there will be a guy who will show his snow-white ass, and I hope this day will come sooner!" A burly white man in a baseball cap spoke loudly in front of the microphone.

"I would venture to ask, are you a GAY?" The moderator asked again.

The young man laughed at the camera: "That's right, I just like men's butts!" ”

"Although I am not GAY, I sincerely hope that your wish can be fulfilled as soon as possible!" The host gave the young man a high-five, before turning to interview the next person in line.

"Who are these people?" Guan Zhilin frowned, it had already made her feel unbelievable to queue up overnight to buy tickets, and then these people's reasons were still so strange.

Lin Youlun picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, shrugged and said, "In the United States, these people should be relatively normal. ”

Guan Zhilin took two soft balls on her chest and pressed them tightly on Lin Youlun's back, wrapped her hands around Lin Youlun's neck, and her big eyes were full of water.

"Tomorrow's premiere, can you take me with you?"

"Didn't we say it before? If I had taken you along, would the reporters have believed that you and I met by chance on a plane? ”

Lin Youlun patted the back of Guan Zhilin's hand gently, his movements were gentle, but his tone was very resolute.

In order to appease Guan Zhilin's emotions, Lin Youlun then said: "I bought an apartment in New York, you can go over tomorrow to take a look, if you like it, it will be yours." ”

Before Guan Zhilin could speak, her mouth was already blocked by Lin Youlun, and the bath towel on her body was rudely torn off, and soon the bodies of the two overlapped and entangled together.

——

The next day, Lucas arrived at the hotel an hour early, ready to go to the premiere of "Jurassic Park" with Lin Youlun.

"Looks like you had a really fantastic night last night, so I'm guessing you must not have watched the TV news!"

Looking at Lucas's teasing expression, Lin Youlun shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.

"What exactly are you trying to tell me?"

"Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?" Lucas deliberately sold a pass.

"Good news."

"Movie theaters in several states in the United States have seen overnight queues to buy tickets...... I don't think this has happened in years, which is a good sign! ”

Lucas thought that this news would surprise Lin Youlun, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun's reaction to be very calm.

"I saw it on TV last night."

Lucas covered his head with his hands: "Oh, Lin, I didn't say you, you actually wasted all your time watching TV last night, doesn't Miss Guan have any opinions?" ”

Lin Youlun didn't think about it too much and got entangled with Lucas on this topic, so he asked, "This is the bad news you want to tell me?" ”

"Of course not...... What I'm trying to tell you is that the news of the establishment of Oriental DreamWorks may have leaked, so when the premiere is held, there may be reporters asking you for confirmation. Lucas said with a shrug.

"Only a few people know about this news, how could it be leaked?" Lin Youlun looked at Lucas, "Could this be the news that you deliberately released Lu Zhi?" ”

"How is it possible, it won't do me any good to do this." Lucas flatly denied it, but he was always a little lacking in confidence.

"Are you sure?"

Lin Youlun immediately saw some clues, and under the pressure of his gaze, Lucas had to admit that he had slipped out on a phone call with a friend, but he swore that he never meant it.

"It's not a bad thing to announce it early, the only regret is that Jurassic Park can't be our entrepreneurial work."

"What's so regrettable about this, we can definitely make a better work than this in the future!" Lucas said confidently.

"At least in two or three years, I'm afraid your wish will be in vain." Lin Youlun smiled bitterly and shook his head, in his impression, the box office record held by "Jurassic Park" was finally broken by the big ship, and it is estimated that no other movie will be able to surpass it.
