Chapter 148: Let's Go, My Money Machine
With Rachel's smiling face frozen on the big screen, the movie is over. The logo representing Fahrenheit Media appeared again on the big screen, with the words "Link" written on the back of the director's column.
The cheers of the audience were still so high, everyone had a smile of excitement on their faces, and the fierce cheers reached their highest point.
"Eminem won, he's doing well."
"I know, I know, Eminem will never be willing to fail, he killed back, and his opponent's humiliating mouth couldn't be opened, it was so cool."
"New song, new song again! This ending song is so powerful, I can't wait for when Eminem's record will be released. ”
Just when everyone in the audience was still enjoying the ending song of "Eight Miles", the picture on the big screen suddenly disappeared, and the entire screening hall lit up.
"Guys, the movie is over, everyone can leave, and the people in the back are still waiting."
The staff of the cinema stood at the entrance, shouting loudly.
"Fuck you, you're fucking sick, aren't you? We haven't finished listening to Eminem's new song yet? Do you have an eye? ”
“fu.ck! I can buy tickets, but I won't even listen to the ending song, be careful that we complain to you. ”
……
In the face of the raging anger of these young people, this staff member seemed very helpless. There are still a large number of people who have bought tickets, and they are anxiously waiting to enter.
"I've hated this job to death, it's unflattering. Someone is in a hurry to buy a ticket to see. Some people refuse to leave the venue for a long time, and the most unlucky one is me. ”
While complaining, the staff member tried to put on an apologetic smile. Invited these people who had finished watching "Eight Miles" out.
Immediately, the empty screening room was occupied by new audiences, and loud screams and excited shouts once again filled every corner of the screening room.
"It's crazy, what's so good about this garbage movie? Why can't I see it? ”
The staff member complained a few times and walked out silently.
On the contrary, those who have just left the scene are still discussing fiercely.
"Sure enough, it didn't come in vain. As high as a kite! My voice was hoarse, and I couldn't understand why I was so crazy. ”
"Me too, I can't help but want to jump up and cheer for Eminem. Especially the last paragraph of "Eight Miles". Eminem standing on stage is just so cool. Seeing him win, I felt like I had won on my own. ”
"Yes, yes, that's how I feel. No, I'd like to watch it again. It's a mesmerizing feeling. ”
……
Listen to what is being said from the mouths of those who are leaving. Many people who were waiting in line to buy tickets also became up.
"Honey, why don't we go and see 'Eight Miles' too, haven't you heard those people say? I also wonder what kind of magic Eight Mile has. A young girl, shaking her boyfriend's arm, said coquettishly.
The boyfriend said helplessly: "Didn't you still clamoring to watch "Harry Potter" before you came?" Why have you changed your mind now? ”
The young girl stuck out her cute little tongue and looked at the people who had described how wonderful "Eight Miles" was, and her eyes couldn't help but look up with envy.
"No, I can't. I have to watch "Eight Miles", they just said that if they don't watch "Eight Miles", they will be imposted. I don't want to be a prodigy. ”
Faced with his girlfriend's coquettishness, the young man next to her had no choice but to nod: "Okay, then let's watch "Eight Mile", in fact, I'm starting to be interested in this movie, I don't know if it's really as exciting as they say?" ”
As soon as his words fell, the young man next to him pouted and said to him, "Man, please don't discuss 'Eight Mile' in a questioning tone, okay?" He's obviously so wonderful that he's going to explode, but you're still hesitating to watch it? It's incredible, isn't it? Are you from Mars? ”
And the young people who had just finished watching "Eight Miles" also joined in the discussion. Everyone tells their true feelings to the couple in front of them.
"Don't hesitate, go buy tickets now. When you see the name "Eight Miles" written on the movie ticket in your hand, you can already get high. ”
"That's right, tickets for "Eight Mile" are the most difficult to buy, and if you hesitate for a second, you probably won't be able to see it today."
"Man, rush in with your girlfriend. Remember, you have to shout out your needs to the conductor's aunt, you have to tell her loudly, I want it~~~~~~ I really want it~~~~~~ give it to me, give it to me~~~~~"
With the shameless scream of the young man, the people around him also burst into laughter.
Many people who were queuing up laughed while gradually changing their original thoughts about watching the movie this time.
"Eight Miles"? Is it really as good as they say it is? Why don't you just give it a try?
Not far away, Link grinned as he looked at the young men who were excitedly discussing "Eight Mile."
The fat man next to him, Jack, couldn't help but touch him, and his fat face was full of smiles: "Little boss, it seems that the audience's response is very good, I really don't know how much the weekly box office of "Eight Miles" will be tomorrow." ”
Link crossed his waist and put on an infinitely proud look, constantly looking up to the sky and laughing: "Then you don't need to say? "Eight Mile" is definitely the weekly box office champion. Aha...... Ahem, this dream is pretty good, what do you think? ”
Seeing that many people around him had already looked over, Link hurriedly stopped laughing proudly.
Fat Jack hurried away from him, as if to say, I don't know this idiot.
When Link sat in the car, his eyes were looking at the AMC movie theater that was gradually moving away, and he was still thinking about the sentence he had just said.
"Will this wonderful dream come true?"
The next day, when the first-week box office data came out, "Eight Mile" was not only not the weekly box office champion, but it was also thrown far behind.
The first place is "Harry Potter and the Vanishing Chamber of Secrets", with a weekly box office of $93.99 million, just a little bit close to breaking the box office of 100 million, which can be called the most popular blockbuster last week.
In second place is also the super magic blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings 2: Two Towers", with a weekly box office of $71.14 million, which also achieved good results and sat firmly in the runner-up.
And in third place is Angelina. "Chicago Lover" starring Zhu Li, Zhu Li's appeal is also fully reflected, ranking third with a weekly box office of $70.12 million, and only a million dollars gap with "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" in second place, which is eye-catching.
In fifth place is a Christmas New Year's film "Santa Claus 2", the first part of which last year created a quite amazing box office, and as a sequel this year, it also received $51.65 million, which can be called a word-of-mouth masterpiece.
When I saw that the fifth place was actually "Eight Miles" directed by Link, it was immediately jaw-dropping. Under the deliberate rendering of the day, everyone knows that the investment in this garbage movie is only a million dollars. But it is this kind of garbage movie that Haimer bombarded into scum, and the weekly box office actually reached 49.53 million US dollars, almost half a billion!
"It's horrible, it's horrible. It is unbelievable that a garbage movie with an investment of only one million dollars has a weekly box office of nearly half a billion. ”
"How so? Didn't Hemer say that "Eight Mile" was rubbish? With his golden signboard, "Eight Miles" can still achieve such results? ”
Just when everyone felt their hearts start to beat faster, an even more shocking news was born.
The movie "Eight Mile", the number of movies released together is only 1025!
You must know that the weekly box office champion "Harry Potter and the Vanishing Chamber of Secrets" has more than 3,000 movie theaters in the first phase, and "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" is the same, and even "Chicago Lover" has been released in more than 2,500 theaters.
But "Eight Mile", which only has 1,025 movies released, has one-third of the number of theaters released, and the box office is actually half of that of "Harry Potter and the Lost Room", which ranks first.
Astound!
Maybe this time can express everyone's feelings.
When Link saw the box office data for the first week of "Eight Mile", he was already laughing happily again.
"Wha...... What am I talking about? "Eight Mile" will definitely not be the weekly box office champion, ahahaha...... Did I say yes? ”
"Shameless! That's not what you said before. ”
"Show off, it's red. Bare. Naked show-off. ”
"No, I want to smash his face flat."
When they saw Link's smug stumbling stumble, the three big beauties had already begun to sharpen their knives.
And the entire Fahrenheit media has been selected into the crazy celebration, and the number of theaters released in one-third of the theaters has reached half of the box office of "Harry Potter and the Vanishing Chamber of Secrets", which is not calming in any way.
"Little boss, you're just amazing. It is unbelievable that a garbage movie can receive a box office of nearly half a billion. ”
Fat Jack's equally happy face is about to bloom.
Even the two protagonists couldn't calm down, Eminem's zombie face also had a hint of obvious excitement, Rachel was even more excited and couldn't extricate herself, and her mouth kept chanting: "Oh my God, it's close to half a billion in the first week." Doesn't that mean that I'm about to have a movie with a box office of over 100 million? ”
Rachel's excitement is justified, and judging by the current results of "Eight Mile", exceeding 100 million is simply not a problem. And if an actor can participate in a movie with a box office of over 100 million, it is definitely an exciting thing.
Not only will the value rise sharply, but the fame will also increase accordingly with the height of the box office, and you will not worry about not having a film contract in the future.
Link, on the other hand, laughed and waved his arms heroically, as if pointing at the country.
"Let's go, my money machine!" (To be continued......)
