Chapter 145: Released

The enthusiastic screams and shouts seem to still echo in the ears, and the final work before the release of "Eight Mile" is also busy.

Whether the premiere of "Eight Miles" was a success or not, everyone has their own understanding.

Heimer, who stood up angrily after only watching a few shots, naturally did not have any words of praise.

Just when the rating of "Eight Mile" came down, Link also breathed a sigh of relief.

"PG grade, it's okay, it's okay."

For "Eight Mile" to be rated PG, it can be regarded as expected by Link. Because in the movie "Eight Miles", there are a lot of foul language and violent scenes, although there are no bloody and revealing pictures, but it is still positioned as PG-level.

The PG level belongs to the counseling level, the suggestion level, and the ordinary level movie rating, and most movies belong to this level.

"Only warm films and animated films are G-rated movies, right?"

Link unscrupulously made a joke about the American Film Association, but the PG rating already satisfied him. At first, he even thought that "Eight Mile" would probably be rated PG-13, but fortunately that didn't happen, and he retained a lot of young viewers.

Sitting in his office, Polk held a list of major movie theater chains in the United States and asked aloud: "Little boss, there are about 1,025 movie theaters in the United States that have received copies of "Eight Mile". If there are too few small bosses, it can increase to 2,711 in a week, and 3,459 next week. What do you think we can do? ”

"Don't wait for next week or next week, let's release these 1,025 movies first. Later, it was slowly added. ”

Link said nonchalantly.

Poke frowned slightly, "But...... For many other big productions, there are more than 3,000 cinemas released in one phase. If there are only 1025, I'm afraid ......"

"Don't be afraid." Link smiled and patted Pook on the shoulder. said: "It's better to have fewer movie theaters in the first phase, just to try the popularity of "Eight Miles". ”

Seeing that the little boss didn't care, Pock also nodded.

At this time, the fat man Jack ran in sweating profusely, holding a newspaper in his hand, panting and saying, "Oh no, little boss, something is wrong." ”

Seeing Fat Jack's nervous look. Polk couldn't help frowning, reached out and took the newspaper in Fat Jack's hand, and his face changed greatly after just looking at it.

"Is Hemmer crazy?" Poke exclaimed in surprise: "Hasn't this old thing always supported the little boss?" How can such an op-ed be published? ”

Fat Jack was also very annoyed: "Who knows which of his tendons has a problem." This old thing would scold the little boss and belittle "Eight Mile" so much. With his influence, it is bound to have a great impact on the box office of "Eight Miles". ”

Link reached for the paper. Just in time for the headline of Hemmer's column: "Link is no longer the young man who impresses." He has fallen. From a "Eight Mile", I have seen his fall. A long sigh, it's a pity. ”

"Heh, Hemmer has learned this sarcastic tone."

Seeing the title of Hemer's column, Link couldn't help but laugh.

"Little boss, are you alright?"

Fat Jack gave him a nervous look.

"Do I look like something's wrong?" Link found a comfortable position, slowly lay down on the office chair, and looked intently.

"Gray shots. Poor picture style, oppressive tones. I can't convince me anyway. This turned out to be something that Link had photographed. But, that's just the way it is! The once dazzling dark horse director, such an amazing new star, even made a garbage movie like "Eight Miles", which is simply disappointing. ”

When Link finished reading this column, his expression still changed somewhat, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Little boss, if you're angry, it's okay to scold a few times. But don't smile like that all the time, it makes people feel a little hairy. ”

Fat Jack couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at him worriedly.

"Angry?" Link said strangely, "Why are you angry? ”

"Forehead......" Fat Jack pouted: "Hemmer said that "Eight Miles" is a garbage movie, aren't you angry?" ”

Link laughed instead: "Trash movie? He's right. "Eight Mile" was originally a garbage movie, and I don't know how many times I've said it. Garbage, garbage, "Eight Miles" is complete garbage, but so what? ”

Polk frowned and glanced at Fat Jack, and looked at Link helplessly: "Little boss, it doesn't matter if "Eight Mile" is rubbish or not, but since Hemer has publicly criticized it, we should deal with it." Otherwise, "Eight Mile" is likely to be a box office failure. ”

"You're wrong!"

Link interrupted him with a sudden voice, holding out a finger and shaking it.

"I admit that Hemmer has a lot of influence, but he is not enough to influence the willingness of young people to watch movies."

Link chuckled as he spoke: "Let him scold as he pleases, I won't lose a single hair, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Could it be...... Are you really not worried about the little boss? ”

Fat Jack and Pock seem so worried about this that they can't understand where Link's confidence comes from.

Link stood up and stretched, looking very relaxed.

"Don't worry so much, it's okay to worry or not to worry, anyway, "Eight Miles" will be released tomorrow, just look at the box office, it's useless to think more."

As he spoke, Link had already walked out.

Although Link didn't care, the media showed great interest in Haimer's sudden turn of gunpoint at Link's behavior.

The most influential media personality in the United States has always been Link's biggest supporter. This time, it was surprising that he suddenly jumped out and first stood up to criticize Link and his "Eight Mile". It's a surprise!

The New York Times, the largest local newspaper conglomerate, not only quoted Hemer's op-ed, but also interpreted it differently.

"This time. Even Hemmer stopped supporting Link and fired the first shot at him. It's not hard to imagine that the movie "Eight Miles" has definitely failed to the extreme, otherwise Hemmer would not have been so disappointed. Anyway, "Eight Mile" is going to be released tomorrow, and the box office won't lie, so let's get ready for Link's defeat. The TV dark horse is already a big label for Link. Maybe he'll be labeled a box office poison again. ”

Many adults have shown a high degree of credibility for this report.

Who is Hemer? He's the most influential media personality in the United States. His words basically represent the success or failure of a movie. Life and death.

Since Hemmer said that "Eight Mile" is a garbage movie, then everyone doesn't need to go into the cinema to confirm it. Because, Hemmer would never be wrong. He said that "Eight Mile" was rubbish, and that was absolutely.

Although Hemmer has already stood up and bombarded "Eight Mile". But Link didn't seem to care. After coming out of the office. I drove straight home.

"I don't know when Julie will come back, and I said that I would go to see "Eight Miles" together."

Link parked the car and opened the door as he thought. Suddenly, a few sounds of laughter came into my ears, but I saw that Mila and Jessica were laughing happily, and there was a person sitting next to them, who was Julie?

Hearing the sound of the door, Julie also raised her head. He smiled at Link: "Little fool, why are you only coming back now?" ”

"Julie? When did you get to New York? ”

Link looked at her with some surprise. I haven't seen you for many days, and I really miss it.

Jessica grinned: "Sister Julie arrived at noon, but you went to the company early in the morning, so you didn't see it." ”

Mira had already pulled him to the couch and asked expectantly, "Are you sure?" When will Eight Mile be released? ”

"Well, it's already set, and the release date is set for tomorrow."

Angelina. Zhu Li nodded, and also asked, "How many movie theaters are there when the first phase is released?" ”

"About a thousand, 1,025."

"So little?" Jessica said in surprise.

Mira obviously didn't understand, and couldn't help but say: "1025, it seems to be quite a lot." ”

Angelina. Zhu Li frowned slightly: "1025 is not much at all, and there are too few." "Chicago Lover" was released in more than 2,500 theaters, and "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" were released in more than 3,000 theaters. ”

"Huh?" Mira was surprised and said, "So much? If you look at it this way, it seems that there are really not many of 1025. ”

Link smiled: "Don't worry about this, it will slowly increase next week and next week." Because I don't really want to wait, I'm going to try it in 1025 theaters now. If the box office performance is good, I will continue to add it, but if it is too bad, it will only be painted in a week. ”

Hearing Link's words, all three women fell silent.

"Isn't it just a million dollars, I see how nervous you are." Link pinched Mira's face next to him: "One million, I can still afford to lose." ”

"It's so easy to say, how can it be a million?" Julie has made many movies, and she still understands the operation and release of movies very well. The production cost is only a fraction of the movie, and it costs a lot of money from shooting to release.

"Don't worry too much, let's go watch "Eight Miles" together tomorrow, and it will be regarded as adding some box office to me, haha."

Link's words also made the three women laugh.

……

The next evening, Link drove to the AMC Cinema. As the premiere of "Eight Mile," Link still loves it.

Link took Julie and the others and looked at the gate of the AMC cinema from a distance, where there was already a long queue, and even reached the gate.

Many young men and women sat on the steps of the doorway, glancing at the long line from time to time.

"There are too many people, I don't know when I will be able to buy tickets for "Eight Mile." Darren frowned and grumbled.

The friend next to him laughed: "Whatever, we have time anyway, even if it is late at night, it will be fine." No matter what, I have to see Eminem, he's my idol. ”

At this time, a group of people who were doing it next to him looked over.

"Hi man. Did you guys come to see Eight Mile too? ”

Darren glanced at the other party and nodded, "Yes, we came here an hour ago." ”

The other party also began to complain: "How can there be so many people? I haven't seen how "Eight Miles" is promoted, when will we wait? ”

Darren's friend laughed and said, "It's been spread all over the showme for a long time, and who doesn't know about "Eight Mile" now?" Several 'Internet celebrities' who attended the premiere had to post hundreds of messages every day, and the blind had to know about it. ”

Darren also nodded: "That's right. Those guys are so annoying, always showing off how lucky they are, and saying "Eight Miles" so good that it's impossible not to be tempted. ”

Several young people chatted for a while, and suddenly a guy escaped from his arms and winked at everyone: "Anyway, there's nothing to do, and I don't know when to wait." Otherwise, I'll listen to you some interesting songs. ”

"Damn, seeing that you're smiling so obscenely, it can't be a sound that can only be made in bed, right?"

"Hahaha......"

Hearing his friend's question, the guy with the player in his hand glared at him: "This is the Divine Comedy, do you understand the Divine Comedy?" Forget it if you don't stop. ”

"Just kidding, anyway, there are still waiting, then let's listen to how divine this Divine Comedy you are talking about."

Several other people also looked over with interest, and the young man laughed and pressed the play button, and suddenly a light song sounded.

"Holy, what song is this? It's really a divine comedy. ”

"yes, what's its name?"

The young man said proudly: "This divine comedy is called "The Fox Calls", haven't you heard it? (To be continued......)
