Since "Home Alone" landed in North America on Christmas Eve, it has begun to exert a strong comedy effect, leading the year-end box office record all the way, and when it entered 74 years, the box office has reached 9.35 million US dollars, which once again drove Wang Xiaohu's fame to a peak. 【】

In just one year, he has made Hollywood tremble with four films, "Enter the Dragon" has a global box office of 223 million, "Rocky" has a global box office of 357 million, and although "Warrior" was released late, it also won 147 million box office in just two months.

Now this "Home Alone" is based on the good foundation of Wang Xiaohu's first three films, coupled with the gimmick of Bruce Lee's son, coupled with the prestige of the five Jackson brothers, under the three-way attack, the box office has naturally been effectively guaranteed.

Compared with the jubilant celebration of Concord, Warner seems a little lifeless. Frye's Kim can't lift the slightest bit of spirit, because "The Exorcist" failed seriously at the box office, and the box office data of the film has only been more than 2 million US dollars in a week since its release on December 26, which seriously made William's morale plummet, and he felt that his face was disgraced.

And who can blame all this, the wrong release schedule? Everyone knows that Christmas is the best time in Hollywood.

Blame the quality of the film for not being good? Obviously, this is nonsense, because many film critics have praised "The Exorcist" and applauded it, indicating that the quality of the film is still good, but it is not popular!

More than 20,000 citizens reported that they felt a strong sense of fear after watching the film, and many viewers were surprised by the sight of 12-year-old Reagan. McNeill suddenly turned his head back 180 degrees, screaming as green liquid flowed from his mouth and nose, and many people fled from the theater at one point. These reactions are normal for horror movies, aren't people who are willing to go to the theater to watch horror movies looking for excitement and scare?

But in this era, this film is too frightening and worldly, and the audience can't accept such a scary film, most of them said with palpitations when they were interviewed: "After watching this film, I lost sleep for a long time, I didn't dare to turn off the lights at night, I would have a strong sense of fear when I lay on the bed, for fear that my bed would shake!" ”

"My child was weird after watching it, she always felt like she was being targeted by the devil, crying and begging me to ask the priest to exorcise the demon, oh God, I really regret taking her to the theater" A young mother faced the camera with tears in her eyes: "You know, we had a nice Christmas Eve in the theater the day before, my child took the initiative to help me with the housework after watching Home Alone, God, she is only 8 years old, the same size as Kevin, why accept such an unfair fate!" ”

It is all kinds of negative influences that make the American political axe have to stop the release of "The Exorcist", because the social panic caused by the release of the film is so serious, so serious that many families have paid a heavy price for it, their children are finally uneasy, and their parents have to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day, for fear that their children will do unimaginable things, and even a hundred parents jointly protested and reprimanded Warner for such inhumane and irresponsible behavior!

"William, all this is a good thing you have done!" The new Warner president, Robert Brown. Nick complained loudly to Friedkin, "God, I've only been in this position for less than two months, are you going to make me pat my ass and walk away now!" ”

William. Fredkin put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and looked very irritable, and he said impatiently: "Whatever you do, in short, I have done my job dutifully, and I have nothing to do with other things after the release of the film." ”

"Hell! We must not only accept the accusations from those parents and public opinion, but also bear the irreparable reputation of the company in the future, William, you must take a stand! ”

"**, I said, this has nothing to do with me, Warner's face was lost two months ago, if you want me to make a statement, OK, I'll submit my resignation letter now." William. Hearing this, Fredkin said it angrily, and got up and slammed the door directly.

Both films also star children under the age of 15, Kevin gives the impression of a ghostly and clever sunny little adult, and Reagan. McNeill makes people feel unprecedented panic, yes, panic is right, now Americans will change color when they talk about the name, in order to expel this uneasiness, they take the children into the theater to watch "Home Alone", hoping to use the comedy of this film to let the children regain their innocence.

The result of this is that more than 90% of theaters in the United States are playing "Home Alone" throughout the Christmas schedule, resulting in the box office of "Home Alone" reaching a number that makes Wang Xiaohu terrifying: 31 days later, at the end of January, the North American box office statistics exceeded $153 million!

"Brandon, you're worth your money now! The imp is now making us $500 a day, and you know what, you've become one of Hollywood's hottest child stars! After reading the box office statistics, Wang Xiaohu suddenly raised Li Guohao above his head and said loudly.

"Daddy Tiger, is this all true?" Li Guohao asked with a flashing excited gaze.

"Yes, it's true!" Wang Xiaohu nodded, threw Li Guohao up hard, and caught him just right: "You must know that Temple Boer was not as lucky as you back then, haha, Brother Xiaolong should be very pleased if he knows something, because his son is even more majestic than when he was alive!" ”

The corners of Li Guohao's mouth twitched twice, and he said in his heart Daddy Tiger, don't you know that Uncle Abdul-Jabbar invited me to my dad last night, and I was scolded by my dad fiercely. "Daddy Tiger, I think, I want to talk to you about my future."

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, put him down gently and said, "Okay, what are your plans for your future?" ”

"I thought, I should go to school." Li Guohao lowered his head after speaking, going to school is not something he wants, he has tasted the fun of making movies, and he can't wait to mix on the set every day in the future, but there is no way, if he doesn't go to school, his father will be angry.

"Good!" Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Your suggestion is very good, in fact, I was going to tell you about it, but I didn't expect you to bring it up first, which shows that you have indeed grown up a lot now." ”

"When we return to Hong Kong in the near future, I will contact St. Francis Assi's College as soon as possible to arrange for your enrollment."

Wang Xiaohu waited in Los Angeles for two days, got nearly 80 million box office dividends from Warner, smashed 5 million directly into Industrial Light & Magic, and threw 10 million to Lucas to work on the filming of "Star Wars", which made Lucas excited to death. "Tiger, you invested nearly 20 million yuan into this film, and such a big production completely exceeded our planned cost."

20 million directly created the history of Hollywood investment and shooting, but Wang Xiaohu did not frown, no one knows better than him the huge profits brought by 20 million, not only in exchange for hundreds of millions of income, but also to create a monument in the history of Hollywood movie special effects, industrial light and magic is also developing vigorously under the urging of Wang Xiaohu's crazy money.

Spielberg had a lot of resentment about this, and he said to Wang Xiaohu with a painful expression: "Tiger, this is so unfair, we are all friends, why do you have such a great love for George, you should write another script, and then throw me tens of millions of dollars like a beggar, and say loudly to me: Hey, go make me a blockbuster movie!" ”

"Time, time." Wang Xiaohu pointed to his head and said, "Don't worry, I will have a good script for you, but it will all take time." ”

"God, do you know the exact time?" Spielberg stared hard into Wang Xiaohu's eyes.

"Steven, well, since you're so anxious, help me find someone first." Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said.

"Looking for someone?" Spielberg was stunned: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Find someone named Peter. Ben Chilli's writer. Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Throughout his life, Benchley has had an indissoluble bond with sharks. He spent his childhood on Nantucket, Massachusetts, and has been interested in sharks ever since. In the mid-'60s, he came across the news that a fisherman had caught a 2,048-kilogram great white shark near Long Island, and he got the idea to write a novel about great white sharks. However, at the time, Beckley was too busy with work to write. It wasn't until 1971 that he began writing Jaws. Benchley has been contributing to newspapers since he was 16 years old, but Jaws was his first novel. Although the novel exaggerates the horror of human-loving sharks, he himself was an active fighter for the survival of sharks, and hosted several television shows about wildlife during his lifetime.

Wang Xiaohu happened to know these things in his previous life, so he told it eloquently.

"Hey Tiger, what are you kidding, can't you give me a script?" Dead Pygerberg said with some exasperation.

Wang Xiaohu still smiled and said, "Do you still remember the lawsuit between me and Warner a while ago?" ”

"Isn't it an infringement lawsuit, which is known all over Americans, and what does this have to do with what we are talking about?"

"It's a big deal, I know it, Peter. Ben Chilli wrote a novel about sharks, and I had seen it in the newspapers, and I was so interested in that novel that I asked you to find him at once and tell him that we were going to buy the rights to his adaptation. Wang Xiaohu said very seriously: "Then, I can adapt it and invest in shooting for you as quickly as possible, ok?" ”
