Chapter Forty-Six: Box Office

Hotel Cinema, located on West Washington Avenue in Los Angeles.

"None? How can it be? Oh God, you've disappointed us again, and, to hell with you goddamn movie theaters! ”

In the ticket hall, a man with brown curly hair scolded angrily after hearing that there was no movie ticket for "50 First Loves", and then walked out of the movie theater depressedly and shouted outside: "Hey, partners, there is no such thing, damn it, why is it so difficult to watch a movie, are the owners of these movie theaters in water?" ”

At the door of the movie theater stood about a dozen couples, all of whom were about to come to the movie theater to watch "50 First Loves", and when they heard that there was none, everyone let out a long sigh.

"Hey, look, this is written by Mister."

Just as the group was about to move on to the next movie theater, a blonde girl with some freckles on her face excitedly shouted with a newspaper.

"Misty wrote? Linda, show it to me. ”

The curly-haired man took the newspaper from the freckled girl and read it very seriously.

The editor-in-chief of the "Washington Post" did not expect that the joke in the film critics area actually received a reply from Xiansen, and it was a long piece of content.

"Hi everyone, I'm Mister Sen, a guest commentator for The Washington Post. Since I am only responsible for reviewing the films directed by Mister Sen, first of all, I will assure you that my opinion will be fair and objective, and there will be no exaggeration or falsehood, thank you. ”

This is a manuscript written by Xiansen to the Washington Post, which was published on the front page of the film review area in its original form and word for word.

"Before I comment on the film, I need to say two things, first; Since the Washington Post won't pay me a penny, if you see this in the paper, please help me get the $800 into my account with the Ford Foundation as soon as possible, with JPMorgan Chase Bank at 2989547328, thank you. ”

Sen humorously damaged the Washington Post in the same way, he didn't care about his own manuscript fees, so he gave an account with the Ford Foundation, and every penny in this account was automatically donated to the foundation for charity.

"Second; The reason why I spent two million dollars on "50 First Loves" is actually very simple, because I only have two million. ”

It's a joke about a different concept, and Sen easily brushes it off with a problem that would be complicated to explain.

Well, let's talk about the movie, "50 First Loves", directed by Mister Sen, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Julie Barrymore, the movie has twists and turns, vivid stories, full of creativity, romantic, fantasy, and truth, it is a rare classic movie in Hollywood, and it will make people regret it for a lifetime if they don't go to the theater.

Well, the above is my objective and fair evaluation, if you want to know the details of the cinema that has obtained the right to screen the film, please log on to the official website of Columbia Pictures to make a location query, thank you. ”

After reading the newspaper in his hand, the curly-haired man laughed, saying that this oriental director was really interesting, obviously he had made a long advertisement, and he actually asked the Washington Post for manuscript fees; is obviously boasting fiercely, but actually guarantees fairness and objectivity, this kind of upright shamelessness is simply too cute.

"Hey Mark, don't look at it, Linda has found the cinema, and she can't buy a ticket if she doesn't go again."

Hearing someone shouting to him, the curly-haired man took the newspaper into his arms, and he found that he liked the oriental director more and more.

On February 28th, the last day of February, "50 First Loves" finally overtook "Hannibal" and successfully topped the weekly list, this week, the number of theaters in the United States increased to more than 2,000, with a total box office of 33 million US dollars, and the attendance rate only dropped by five percentage points.

In the third week of "50 First Loves", 3,275 theaters across the United States participated, and what is surprising is that the attendance rate is still above 50%, and the market that has never been satisfied before has finally ushered in the first **. Twenty-eight million! Although there is a slight decline, the box office still firmly occupies the top spot, and "Return to the World", "Police Dog Chase Order" and the same love-themed movie "Sweet November" were all sniped by "Hannibal" and "50 First Loves" in the same period!

After watching the suspense, use romance to relax and relax, this is the movie viewing plan that many people set for themselves.

We can see that it is only a matter of time before the box office of "50 First Loves" exceeds 100 million, and this film, which is said to be only made for only two million dollars, has brought an unexpected sensation when it first appeared on the market under a series of crazy hype, and what surprises us even more is that what follows is not abuse and bad reviews, but better word-of-mouth. Maybe the much-anticipated "Harry Potter: The Mysterious Philosopher's Stone" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" should be lucky that they were not released at this time, look at the movie theater behind me, the anticipation on the faces of these ticket buyers in line, I can only say, the oriental director is amazing, oh, by the way, I also love this movie. ”

Watching the interview with the reporter on TV, Xiansen smiled proudly.

"Hey, Rayman, how are you feeling right now?"

Rolling his eyes, Rayman swept under Xiansen's feet with a vacuum cleaner.

"Get up, I just think you should be giving out the bonus."

"Bonus?"

Thinking of these two words, Xiansen suddenly felt that his heart seemed to ache, yes, there is still a bonus to be sent. In other words, he suddenly understood the reason why Cook could become a manager, that guy only needs to send one, and he needs to send a group!

"Haha, I heard the bonus, and it's really time for me to come."

Just when Xiansen's heart was dripping blood, Rachel ran over at some point.

"Hey Rachel, are you going fishing tomorrow?"

Seeing the little girl jumping in, Xiansen opened her mouth and diverted the topic.

"Fishing? All right! ”

The little girl is simple, so she was brought over by Xiansen.

"Still, I think you'd better take a look at this first."

With that, Rachel handed a piece of newspaper in his hand to Xiansen.

[It's late, try to rush out of the next shift, sorry]
