Rachel and Kayla sat happily in front of the TV, leaning back and laughing, while Liang Xiaolong looked at them with resentment, as if he was angry little daughter-in-law: "No wonder this girl is so ugly, she must be a sin made by endless morality." Kayla smiled: "Uncle Xiaolong, when will you get sick again, write a script and let me be the protagonist?" Liang Xiaolong glanced at her: "I'm sorry, the phone number you dialed is not in the service area." ”

Waiting, time flies, the box office of "Tomb Robbery" in the new week is out again, with a box office of 42.32 million to continue to occupy the top position of the box office list, the local box office has been as high as 136 million in three weeks, and as long as there is an average income of 20 million in the next three weeks, the local box office can break through the 200 million mark. The overseas box office has also been released, and this week it also hit a super high box office of 65.5 million, and the media have predicted that the overseas box office may be much higher than the local box office. In fact, this is also normal, released in many overseas countries, although no country can compare with the United States at the box office, but it is also normal for the small river to become a sea and overwhelm the local box office. Especially for blockbusters, the overseas box office is often higher than the local box office, just like "Titanic" released in the previous life, the local box office is 600 million, and the overseas box office is 1.2 billion; Like "Avatar", the local box office is 700 million, and the overseas box office is 2 billion.

And now the total box office has exceeded 200 million, as long as it is another 100 million, Liang Xiaolong can start to realize income, according to his own estimates, the film can eventually have a box office of 400 million, and he will earn millions of dollars, far less than the income of the two films "The Sun is Like Me" and "Never Compromise". But he should be content, he was a newcomer at the time, and if it weren't for Julia's help, the three films might not have started filming yet, let alone tens of millions of dollars in income.

However, the good fortune of "Tomb Robbery" did not continue, an animated film that was only released for four days knocked it out of the box office list to the top of the box office, but its ability to grab the box office is also quite strong, ranking second with 33.5 million, and the total local box office reached 170 million, and the victory of breaking through 200 million is in sight. The overseas box office continued to rise, with 56.4 million, and the global total box office was as high as 2.91, and there seems to be no problem with breaking through 400 million. But Liang Xiaolong couldn't be happier, because the film that topped the box office list was called "Toy Story", and he remembered this cartoon very well, if it wasn't for his accidental appearance in '95, this cartoon would have won the domestic box office of the year for $190 million.

But the release of such a film that can be crazy at the box office is by no means good news for him at this time, because "The Police and the Thief" will be released next Friday, and he will directly face its resistance, if he can't stand out from the encirclement, the box office may plummet, and eventually become a failed film. Regarding his worries, Carl smiled indifferently: "Dude, who is blocking who doesn't know yet, there's no need to worry too much." ”

Indeed, the most worried is not Bruce Leung, but the top management of Pixar Films, all the movies produced by Bruce Leung in the past six months have been box office hits, and now "Toy Story" has "Tomb Robbery" before its release, and then "Police and Thieves", which can be described as a former wolf and a tiger, if it is not impossible to postpone the release, they all want to save the film for next year. However, the box office of 44.2 million on the first four days still relieved the company's senior management, according to this trend, it will definitely make a lot of money, and even plan a sequel.

"It seems that our publicity is very good." Carl took the news from the major theaters: "60% of the tickets on the first day have been sold, 40% on the second day, and 35% on the third day, and there are still a few days before the release of the film, and it is estimated that a lot will be sold." Seeing these data, Liang Xiaolong was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief: "The situation is not bad, there should be 80% attendance three days before the release." Carl added: "I'll tell you another good news, "Fatal Crossover" has been drawn, 2,600 movie theaters have been vacated, and 450 have been robbed by me." Liang Xiaolong was immediately happy: "In this way, there should be a box office of seven million in the first three days, right?" Karl said: "If you can increase the number of games a day from five to seven, it is possible to play tens of millions." ”

However, seeing yesterday's box office list, Liang Xiaolong was depressed again, "Toy Story" earned 5 million on Monday, and tens of millions every day for three days on the weekend, compared with it, "Police and Thieves" is far from the ability to grab the box office. And the stronger its ability to strengthen the box office, the more fans it can snatch up over the weekend, and it is very likely to impact the attendance rate of "Cops and Thieves".

On Wednesday, two days before the film's release, "Toy Story" continued to lead the box office list, and after four weeks of hot screenings, "Tomb Robbery" has a strong box office capacity that is not as good as before, with only 6 million at the box office on Monday and Tuesday. However, "Toy Story" is not unique, and Warner's just-released "Detective Nose 2" also has a box office of 9 million in the past two days, which can be described as pressing step by step. Seeing this, Liang Xiaolong was even more depressed, the film was blocked by two good films before it was released, how easy is it to break out of the encirclement?

And "Detective Plane 2", like "The Police and the Thief", is an action comedy, a funny film of police and bandits, and it is undoubtedly the most painful to be blocked by such a film with the same theme: "Sandwiched between two good films, I knew that I should have postponed the release time to early next year, which is also the time when the box office competitiveness is the lowest." Carl smiled: "Man, don't worry, our film quality is better than theirs, there are more big names than them, and the publicity is better than theirs, so we will definitely be able to beat them." Liang Xiaolong thought about it carefully and felt that it was also, Rachel and Brandon were both famous, and with Julia, the lineup was more luxurious than ordinary blockbusters.

This phenomenon has also attracted the attention of the media, and the Los Angeles Times wrote: The Christmas schedule is the most fiercely competitive schedule at the box office every year, but it is undeniable that once the Christmas schedule arrives, it will inevitably be a good film to enter the court, which is enough for the audience to enjoy their eyes, and there is no suspense about the local box office of "Tomb Robbery" pointing at 200 million. The box office of "Toy Story" is also booming, and it is likely to be a film with a local box office exceeding 200 million after "Tomb Robbery". Although the local box office of "Detective Plane Head 2" is not enough to exceed 200 million, with the current ability to grab the box office, there should be no suspense to break 100 million.

Finally, I have to mention "The Police and the Thief" produced by Yanhuang Film Company, this is Liang Xiaolong's fourth screenplay, and the first three films are all box office hits, so what about this one? There is no doubt about Liang Xiaolong's editing ability, the lineup of the film is luxurious enough, and the publicity is also in place, but what about his directing ability? It is indeed worth thinking about whether a newcomer who has just debuted can fight his way out of the encirclement under the resistance of two good films. In addition, Yanhuang Film Company is a small company after all, and the distribution system is not perfect, only 1,450 theaters are divided during the Christmas schedule, and only five shows are shown every day, which greatly restricts the growth of the box office.

The Los Angeles Times has analyzed it in depth, but everything will have to wait until the film is released, and the only thing Yan Huang can do now is to hold the premiere and win the attention of the media so that they will willingly build momentum for the film. Because of the unprecedentedly large cast, it has attracted the attention of hundreds of media, and everyone has to pose in various poses to face the long guns and short guns of the media when they walk through the red carpet in suits and dresses. Liang Xiaolong hated this kind of dog catwalk feeling, but for his own investment and everyone's hard work, he could only smile hypocritically and put on the most handsome appearance in the world.

"A lot of dogs, a lot of dogs...... Liang Xiaolong suddenly heard Jessica muttering quietly, couldn't help but laugh, and whispered: "A lot of wolves, such a big group of perverts, you have to be careful, beauty." Jessica glanced at him: "Don't scare me, if I get into trouble, it will affect the publicity, and you will be responsible for the consequences." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "You have not attended press conferences during this time, haven't you gotten used to it?" Jessica said, "Actually, I'm nervous every time I attend, a lot of dogs, a big bunch of dogs......"

In contrast, Kayla, who is only 12 years old, is much more mature than Jessica, and the little girl has a sweet smile everywhere she goes, and reporters prefer to call him cutie. Of course, there are also many reporters who call her a little witch, because this girl has also appeared frequently in the media recently, but in the face of interviews with reporters, this girl pretends to be cute and confused, just not letting reporters seize the handle, and also wasting the reporter's mind to find material from her.

Rachel and Brandon needless to say, "Tomb Robbery" is a hit, and they have long become the darlings of the media. Not to mention Julia, who has long stood in the ranks of the first line, and with her superb performance in "Never Compromise", she has long become a popular candidate for next year's Oscars. But because of this, fans are worried that if Bruce Leung directs a bad movie, it may affect Julia's popularity, and even affect her running for next year's Oscars.

And after the experience of the past two months, Wu Jing is no longer the fledgling handsome guy, facing the reporter's long gun and short cannon, he has always maintained a humble smile, with the Tang costume, showing the elegant style.

No other guests were invited to this premiere, as the cast was already lavish enough that Julia alone could cause a media frenzy. However, Mark and Shirley still came, Disney has collaborated with Bruce Leung on three films, earning nearly a billion dollars, Mark has no reason not to come to support Bruce Leung, and by the way, further improve the relationship and seek more opportunities for cooperation; Paramount has become an overseas distributor and CD distributor of the film, and the more Paramount is promoted for the premiere, the more Paramount earns, and Shirley is even more likely to come to the show.

Passing by Shirley's side, Mark whispered, "You're so fast." Shirley deliberately angered him: "If you start quickly, you have to eat, and if you start slowly, you can only stare dryly." Mark added: "You can start with the film just after it is finished, so confident, why didn't you invest directly in the first place?" Shirley smiled faintly: "I really regret denying a successful investment at the beginning, but fortunately, I can earn some mantissa now." ”

"This old lady, she speaks with thorns, and I have to be angry with her." Mark was indignant in his heart, but he had a smile on his face: "Yes, Xiaolong is really a hen that can only lay eggs, and he has helped us Disney earn nearly a billion dollars this year." Shirley still smiled faintly: "It is precisely because of this phenomenon that next year we Paramount will increase cooperation with Yanhuang Film Company." ”
