"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you've all gotten the news that yesterday Friday, the Hollywood movie 'Dark City,' which uses the most IMAX lenses to date, took $102.6 million from the North American market out of more than 4,600 theaters!"

Putting down the papers in his hand, Richard Golfon, the head of IMX's Los Angeles branch, stood up, as if trying to strengthen his tone in this way, "This is the latest North American single-day box office record, and IMAX also has credit for it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Everyone's eyes in the room were on Richard Gerfon.

After clearing his throat, Richard Gerfang said, "Nearly 200 IMAX studios in North America contributed $16.88 million of them!" And the average attendance rate of all IMAX theaters is over 95 percent! ”

As soon as these words fell, the conference room immediately burst into applause.

Looking at the excited subordinates, Richard Golfang also sighed a little, this move is obviously right, the other party tossed the IMAX camera like that, and it was also installed on the high-speed car, he is not without doubts, after all, the number of cameras in the entire IAMX company can be counted on one hand, in case of damage, he is not easy to explain to the head office.

Now it seems that he did not oppose it at the beginning, but chose to support Murphy Stanton, and he did the right thing!

The applause gradually died down, and with a slight cough, Richard Grfon sat down again and said, "From now on, we will fully cooperate with the publicity and distribution of Twentieth Century Fox, and the head office has given me a phone call to inform me that IMAX will invest as many resources as possible in "Dark City", and all IMAX theaters in North America will join in the screening of "Dark City", and the number of theaters showing "Dark City" throughout the day will also increase from 80 to 140!" ”

After a few more specific work instructions, Richard Graffon announced the dismissal of the meeting, returned to his office, looked at the "Dark City" poster hanging on the wall, and gradually had other thoughts in his heart.

Murphy Stanton seems to be a somewhat old-school director, completely different from technical stream directors like James Cameron and Robert Zemeckis, in fact, his understanding and application of new film technology is no worse than that of these technical stream directors, and even he feels that Murphy Stanton is hiding in his bones is the soul of a technical school!

The fact is obvious, Murphy Stanton can infinitely amplify the advantages of IMAX technology in his films, and no matter what, he must push IMAX to continue to cooperate with Murphy Stanton and Stanton Studios.

Thinking of this, Richard? Gerfang picked up the phone, dialed Murphy Stanton's number, waited for an assistant to transfer the phone to the other person, smiled and said a few words of congratulations.

As long as the other party is willing to continue to cooperate with IMAX, let alone a few words of congratulations, even if it is to be a driver for him for a period of time, Richard Golf is willing.

Although after a one-day screening on Friday, the attendance rate of "Dark City" on Saturday generally declined, and by the afternoon, there was basically no queue in front of ordinary 2D theaters, but IMAX theaters are different, the attendance rate has been high, and there is a slight increase compared to Friday, after two days of word-of-mouth fermentation, the shocking effect of IMAX screenings has been widely circulated among fans, although more than 100 theaters under IMAX companies screen "Dark City" around the clock, it still can't meet the needs of fans, IMAX tickets are hard to come by.

Because of his busy schedule, Alex Clement didn't go to the advance and didn't pay enough attention to IMAX, but only went to see the regular 2D version on Friday, and listened to the description of IMAX by colleagues and friends, and regretted making the wrong choice.

On Saturday afternoon, Alex Clement sat at his computer desk, refreshing the movie ticketing sites over and over again, but all the websites were relentlessly reminding him that the IMAX version of "The Dark City" has no tickets today, and there will be no tickets tomorrow!

"How so?" Alex Clement slapped himself on the forehead hard, "I've got a pig's head!" ”

Closing all booking sites, Alex Clement googled it, took out his mobile phone and dialed the IMAX booking number.

"I want to ask, when will tickets be available for Dark City in the Los Angeles area?"

"I'm sorry, sir."

A nice female voice rang on the phone, but she said something that Alex Clement didn't want to hear, "The Los Angeles area is temporarily out of tickets, and it will be next Monday at the earliest." ”

"Next Monday?"

Frowning, Alex Clement was a little distressed, next Monday was a working day, he still had to go to work, thought for a while, and said, "Excuse me, if I increase the price, can I get an extra ticket?" ”

He had heard from his friends before that the IMAX theaters in the Los Angeles area were extremely popular, and some IMAX theaters placed some chairs on the empty seats in the front row of the theater in order to maximize their profits and appease fans who couldn't buy tickets for "Dark City" and refused to leave, and then sold extra seats to fans.

Although these locations are not particularly good, they are still very marketable under the lure of the IMAX version of Dark City.

"Sorry, there is a shortage of tickets right now." The beautiful female voice sounded in the earpiece again, "The extra ticket will have to wait until Monday at the earliest!" ”

Hearing this, Alex Clement had no choice but to decide whether to book Monday's IMAX version of the movie ticket for a while, so he had to say thank you and hang up the phone.

Unable to book tickets for today's or tomorrow's IMAX, and with nothing to do for the time being, Alex Clement stopped thinking about it, simply opened the Google page, searched and looked up the news about "Dark City".

Among them, a report about IMXA caught his attention.

The protagonist of the report is the chairman of the board of directors of IMAX Corporation, he said about the recent shortage of tickets for "The Dark Knight", "Not only are there no tickets for Saturday, there are no tickets for tomorrow and Sunday, every seat has been sold, even the IMAX tickets for next Monday and next Tuesday have sold nearly 90 percent, we have expanded the screening as much as possible, but the fans are so enthusiastic, there has never been a film like "Dark City", so much appeal." ”

Seeing this, Alex Clement immediately realized that it was not good, "Dark City" was almost sold out even for next Tuesday and next Wednesday's IMAX movie tickets? If you wait by yourself, you don't know how long it will take.

He turned off the computer web page, thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.

Alex Clement picked up his phone, dialed a number again, waited for the other end to connect, put a smile on his face, and said, "Director, it's me, Alex, that ...... There is something to do, I would like to ask you in advance. ”

Hearing the voice of "Say it" on the other end of the phone, Alex Clement said, "On Monday, my father and mother came to see me from Louisiana, and I wanted to take a day off to pick them up at the airport. ”

The computer seemed to groan for a moment, but finally agreed, "Yes." ”

Alex Clement was overjoyed, but kept his emotions in check, saying, "Thank you, Director. ”

The other end let out an 'um' and then hung up, and Alex Clement also put down the phone, clenched his fists and shouted, "YSE!" ”

After shouting, he picked up the phone again, dialed the IMAX reservation number, and booked tickets for the IMAX version of "Dark City", which was the first one on Monday!

"Murphy isn't human at all!" Alex Clement sat down in his computer chair and said, "He's a god!" ”

It's not just Alex Clement who has such an idea, many Murphy fans agree with similar views, on IMDB, Daisy's short review of the second day posted on Friday afternoon was pinned high in the comment area of "Dark City" by countless likes, becoming the most approved comment by fans.

""Dark City" is a nerve-bursting masterpiece, and Murphy also used this film to officially announce that he has left the ranks of earth directors and become a member of the gods! Also announcing their separation from the ranks of mortals are James Franco and Margot Robbie, whose performances are also god-level! ”

In just over a day, this short comment received tens of thousands of likes!

In an independent house in Los Angeles, Daisy looked at the IMDB score of 9.7 in "Dark City" again, turned off the computer, walked out of the study, and came to her dressing room, looking at herself through the huge mirror, especially the dazzling blonde hair that was smooth and straight.

At the age of eighteen, she lived alone in Los Angeles, and from her deceased grandfather, she continued the house of thousands of square feet and a large fortune, although she worked in the middle, but not for long, after all, she had enough money in her hands to get away with it, and she served as the head of Murphy Stanton's IMDB discussion group, and she also had a lot of money in recent years.

Daisy has enough financial foundation to do what she wants to do and realize some messy ideas.

But more thoughts she just thought, it had never become a reality before, until the appearance of the magician, the magician was like an initiation, making her understand that being a bad guy can be so charming and so frightening.

If there's anything in this world other than Murphy Stanton's movies that can intoxicate her, it's this ultimate evil!

"Magician, magician......"

Daisy changed into the magician's dress she bought, although it was a movie peripheral, but it was well-made, "Why is there no magician in this world!" ”

This is what she regrets the most, the magician only exists in Murphy's films, and in Murphy's creation, in Murphy's imagination, he is not a person in the real world after all.

"Since there are no magicians in the world, why can't you create a real magician?"

Thinking of this, Daisy picked up a pair of sharp scissors from the dresser, slowly lifted them, and put them on her neck.
