The elated children walked out of the theater, still excitedly talking about the plot with their parents, and everyone's face was happy.

"This movie is amazing! Oh my God, my brother and I were out of breath laughing. ”

"Yes, this HomeAlone is the best comedy movie I've ever seen! I suggest everyone take a look at it, children can't go wrong with their choices. ”

"Yes, this is the second time I've seen this movie, the first time next to our school, with my students. Although there are more pranks on children in this movie, it is indeed a good movie and should be recommended for children. Jack inside is a brave kid who deserves to be learned from children! As for the children in the newspaper who used the scenes in the movie to make their parents, I don't think it's necessary, we can take those childish behaviors as children's love for us. ”

In front of the Octavian Theater, Sun Ziming and the crew members also blocked the reporters.

Reporter: Ming, congratulations on your success, can you tell us about this movie? We know that this is the first Chinese-language version, and it has been a huge success in Asia, and you remake "HomeAlone", is there more of a commercial element in this?

Sun Ziming: No, I think the emotional factor is bigger, and this is a gift to Jack, which was originally in Chinese and achieved good box office results in Asia. Later, Jack said that he wanted to be a big star, and Warner approached me to work with him, so I adapted it into "HomeAlone". If Home Alone was a gift to Sophie, HomeAlone was a gift to Jack!

Reporter: So why did Warner withdraw again? At the time, did you complain a little bit about them?

This reporter is very bad, no matter how he answers, it is easy to fall into his pit, Sun Ziming: No, no, I still have to thank Warner Company, it is because of Warner Records Hong Kong that I have the opportunity to develop in Hong Kong. Warners withdrew from the HomeAlone partnership because of our collaboration in the Chinese version, and their investment ratio increased. It's purely a matter of swapping business interests, and in the case of the beginning, I think they are doing it in a sound way! They are big companies and need to be robust!

……

After Sun Ziming and the crew members were interviewed by reporters, when they returned to the hotel, a group of people were already waiting for them to hold a celebration party.

Jiang Peng got the box office results of "HomeAlone" tonight when he returned to the hotel, and there were 1,364 movie theaters and 2,198 big screens participating in the first week of screening, and the box office of the two shows reached 5.74 million! The entire crew of "HomeAlone" cheered for this achievement, and the entire hotel was thrown into a burst of laughter and screams, 'Open champagne!' Open Champagne! ’

"Wait, all the tickets for tomorrow's afternoon and night shows are sold out!"

"Champagne! Open Champagne! ”

The champagne was opened, and then Sun Ziming was poured into the heart, and a large group of people used a bottle of champagne as a toy, pouring everyone like a chicken in soup, even Juanzi and Sister Mei did not let go.

Sun Ziming finally didn't make trouble Xiang Huaqiang and Wang Fatzi teamed up, so that they chased them to Cheng Long and took refuge, sat next to him and smoked, and no one messed around in front of the wounded. I ordered one myself, and I was going to give one to Cheng Long, the injured man.

Cheng Long, who was envious of these people playing, sat in a wheelchair and waved his hand: "Hey, I don't smoke!" ”

Sun Ziming stuffed a lit 'Great China' into Cheng Long's mouth, and scolded with a smile: "Smoke it, 'Se Nai Scraping Bone Steel Knife', aren't you still lustful?" ”

Wang Fatzi and the others laughed, and they could see the appearance of the big nose, which was happier for Wang Jing than winning the money. Because of this matter, Sun Ziming also specially inquired, in fact, the two of them have no enmity, but Wang Jing can't rob the little star and can't rob Cheng Long, especially after Zhang Manyu asked him to snatch it away, that angry!

But it's hard to say now, Wang Jing's fame is getting bigger and bigger, especially after winning the Silver Bear Award with Sun Ziming, and gradually the two sides are evenly matched. In addition to making money, this circle is important to rob women, and sometimes it is to fight for face! There are too many temptations in this circle, and people like Sun Ziming are considered outliers, if they want to be replaced by a pervert like Wang Jing, they will already be the groom every night.

There was only a bottle of champagne, and after a few sprays, everyone drank the rest of the wine with the bottles, and sat down in a mess to celebrate Sun Ziming's box office hit.

Drinking and drinking, everyone also came up, even Yang Guobin didn't shy away from it, sat next to Sister Mei and poured wine for her, and suddenly asked the grandson next to him: "Brother Ming, you will really donate 1/3 of your salary, at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars!" ”

Yang Guobin's question made the restaurant quiet for a while, not to mention Yang Guobin, even Cheng Long and Wang Jing only have tens of millions of family assets!

Sun Ziming couldn't say that the amount of donation was slightly less than the tax he should pay, so he had to show off happily: "Hehe, if it weren't for my wife to stop me, I would have donated it all." I'm different from you, money is just a number to me now. ”

He is really the only one in this room who has the confidence to say this, and the outside valuation of the light and shadow company has exceeded 3 billion. Not to mention 200 million US dollars, at least 100 million will not be able to run, so this kid's family assets are billions.

It's okay to deceive people like Yang Guobin and Lu Huiguang, but it's useless for people like Wang Fatzi and Cheng Long. Everyone made a fuss for an hour, and a group of bad gamblers went to gamble. When Sun Ziming and his wife returned to the guest room to prepare for intimacy, the fat man and Xiang Hua pushed Cheng Long to come, so angry that Juanzi wanted to get angry in her heart, and she had to help them get water and drinks with a black face.

Wang Fatzi was not afraid of Juanzi's black face and black mouth, pushed Cheng Long to the sofa, sat on the sofa by himself, and wondered: "Don't give Lao Tzu a sloppy look, what is the benefit of making you so generous?" Donate to your hometown, I believe! But if you donate it to other regions, the ghost will believe your nonsense! ”

There are only two or three of their own people here, even Cheng Long is half a brother, and Sun Ziming is not afraid to say the bottom, "I am different from you, my third brother and they are all doing business in the mainland." Having a good reputation not only makes others have scruples, but also helps to expand the market! ”

"Really?"

Sun Ziming said in a low voice: "Do you think that I have a fever because I have a lot of money?" Hmph, where will the money go, it's not up to us to decide? Where our business doesn't go, I'm going to donate? Besides, I have to pay taxes on those salaries and dividends, and instead of cheapening the U.S. government, it is better to cheapen my own compatriots! ”

Sun Ziming won't be taboo about these, it's okay to do good deeds, and there must be some rewards, right? He is not a living Lei Feng, the saint is dead, and those who live in this world are ordinary people! This is also the reason why Sun Ziming persuaded Juanzi last night. The third brother has developed too fast, and now they have opened 146 chain stores, if they don't have a good reputation and political arguments, it will be difficult to have a good ending. Besides, it makes a good deal to use the U.S. government's tax revenue for charity!

The three of them are relieved, as long as it is not their brother who is crazy, it is two or three hundred million Hong Kong dollars! Xiang Huaqiang didn't have long eyes, and wanted to ask something, but Wang Fatzi pulled him out of the room, "Don't you see people horny?" ”

……

At nine o'clock and ten o'clock the next day, when Sun Ziming, who had been noisy all night, was still eating in the restaurant, Jiang Peng's eyebrows danced to bring the latest news to everyone. Today's movie tickets have been on sale in the early hours of last night, and they have all been sold out ten minutes ago, which means that today's attendance rate is 100%!

'Yay' Everyone cheered, and Jiang Peng happily reported to Sun Ziming: "Brother Ming, it will increase to 3,472 big screens today, and the box office is expected to be 10.48 million." The main reason is that the additional screening halls are all large screening halls with more than 300 people, and the number of screenings today is also one more than yesterday. ”

"Well, what's the media reaction like?"

Jiang Peng took over a bunch of mainstream newspapers and magazines from Betty, and the comments about "HomeAlone" on them had been circled with a red pen. Last night's "HomeAlone" was not only fans, but also critics and media who attended the premiere.

The headline of today's Chicago Sun-Times entertainment section was HomeAlone, and they headlined: "A New Children's Comedy Movie." In a detailed review, they commented that the style of the film is very original, including the bright shots, the clever wit and bravery of the children, and the stupidity and ridiculousness of the stupid thief, all of which deserve people's attention.

"This movie isn't as great as everyone thought it would be, but it's not bad at all; For a 21-year-old director, this is a very good film that can be expected to achieve quite good box office results. Although it was not explicitly stated in the newspaper, the subtext of it was that the results of "HomeAlone" would make everyone look sideways.

Compared with the conservatism of the Chicago Sun, the attitude of the Los Angeles Times is to praise it: "This movie is beyond expectations, I believe that many adults would not have thought that it is so good before watching the movie!" It has the magic to make the child laugh as well as the accompanying parent. The talented 21-year-old director knows exactly what it takes to make a good comedy, and he did it all, and did it well. Without the vulgarity we often see in comedy movies, this is a very high-style comedy! ”

"In this film, he proved to us his genius screenwriting, directing, and production skills. It's a bit pale to describe him as promising, maybe we can expect more and quietly see what else he can achieve! Don't forget, he won the Berlin Award for Best Screenplay at the age of twenty! ”

The California Film Journal also commented: "It's a little hard to believe, is this really a movie made by a 21-year-old director? Unbelievably, he is also the holder of the highest box office record in Asia, and his social ******, horror films, and feature films have all broken the box office record of similar Chinese films in Asia! ”

Some praise and some criticism, a freelance film critic named Mark Thomas, whose comment was published in a gossip tabloid: "I haven't seen the movie yet because it's so hard to get tickets." But it is conceivable that this will be a disaster, and a young director with no sense of social responsibility is teaching children how to mistreat adults. Last week, another tragedy struck, this time when a child poured vegetable oil on the ground and fell to his mother! ”

But apparently Kevin Thomas was left behind, he wanted to get the attention of the fans and shouted loudly, but no one paid attention, and of course he may, probably got a check from Li Rui.

And, of course, there are bitter reporters who write in the newspapers and compare Warners to fools who are short-sighted, fools who are greedy for small profits.

"We can conservatively estimate that HomeAlone's North American box office exceeded $200 million, and there was no problem at all. If Warner has a 30% stake, how much will they get? $30 million minimum! Now, they're swapping 20% of HomeAlone's Chinese-language sequel 3, so how much will they get? Up to $4 million! Mr. Marcos, Vice President of Warners, will magic, 30 million will become 4 million in the blink of an eye! ”
