Although there was a factor of retaliatory consumption after the catastrophe, the box office market in '96 did not achieve even rain and dew, and the polar phenomenon was very obvious.

After six months of North American screenings and five months of overseas films, the total global box office of "Spider-Man" has reached 880 million, followed by "Independence Day" with 750 million.

The third and fourth are "Tornado" with nearly 500 million and "Mission Impossible" with 450 million.

If you just look at these, it is definitely a good box office market, you must know that the global box office broke 400 million in 95 years, but there is no one, even if there are "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King" in 94, the box office is not as good as this year's "Spider-Man" and "Independence Day", which are both breaking 800 million box office years, but-

In addition to "Spider-Man", "Independence Day", "Tornado", and "Mission Impossible", on the top ten box office list this year, there are also movies with a total box office of less than 200 million!

Even in the ninety-five years of pulling the crotch in the box office market, this is unthinkable!

If you count it by month, then this year's graph is even more miserable:

In January, there was no hit, in February, there was only "Operation Broken Arrow", in March, there was a "False Phoenix and Fake Phoenix", and in April, "First-Class Fear" ......

Several blockbusters in May, June, and July contributed more than 60% of this year's box office share, but in August, September, October, November, and December, only "Ransom Storm", "101 Dalmatian", "Mr. Sweetheart", and "Death Scream" performed well, but compared with the previous summer files, the record of this year's Christmas file is actually very stretched......

Christmas stalls can't beat summer stalls?

This is great news!

However, considering that there are two hits that instinctively hit the box office record in this summer's file, but the two of them dragged each other back, so that neither side broke the record, everyone was also relieved.

The so-called revenge consumption has been consumed in this wave, and in the absence of word-of-mouth hits, it is normal for the Christmas schedule to be weak.

With the erosion of time, "Spider-Man" and "Independence Day", which are destined to be unbreakable, have gradually disappeared from people's sight and stayed in everyone's memory, followed by a small range of heated discussions caused by "Romeo and Juliet......

That's right, Roland's obscure movie in his previous life is suddenly popular, but the factor that makes it popular is not a dazzling story, but Leonardo DiCaprio, no way, who made him too handsome?

Although Xiao Lizi only played a supporting role with few scenes in "Spider-Man", Harry Osborne's handsome appearance made Xiao Lizi's fame skyrocket with the high box office.

To put it mildly, the sudden rise in the box office of "Romeo and Juliet" is actually related to the fact that many young ladies who like Xiao Lizi have been brushed several times.

But regardless of the reason, the result of exceeding expectations at the box office anyway satisfies the producers.

The producer is satisfied, and Xiao Lizi's potential projects will increase, although it will not skyrocket in value like after participating in "Titanic", but-

He's content now.

And when communicating with Roland, he said directly: "Oh! Rowland! Do you know? Now a lot of producers come to me to film, and I can choose my favorite books now......"

"There are commercial films, drama films, and I don't have to worry about not being able to receive projects that show my acting skills!"

"Although you are more handsome than me, I will definitely win the Oscar before you, you just wait to envy!"

"Maybe before Harry Osborne was defeated by Peter Parker, I was already an actor!"

For this kind of pleasant argument, Roland, who received the emotional call, was actually quite happy, after all, it meant that Xiao Lizi was very satisfied with the current state.

If he wants to rush for the prize, let him rush it, and Roland is not Kate, so he doesn't care about this thing at all.

What's more, without "Titanic", Xiao Lizi will be able to get his wish?

This is just so naïve!

Take Tom Cruise, who is still racing for the Olympics this year but doesn't have much hope, no handsome guy can win an Oscar at a young age, because no matter what they play, the judges will think that this guy is an idol......

Although "Mr. Sweetheart" sold well, few people believed that Tom Cruise would make it to the top this year.

Of course, in addition to these most accessible insider affairs, the second most important thing that has happened in the past six months is the successful re-election of Zipperton.

Although Roland didn't say a word to him, or even met in person, he still donated one million to the other party's public campaign account.

Since it is not easy for the two sides to meet, then don't meet, not to mention, Roland is not interested in him at all, and the so-called donation is just to make a statement to the interest group behind him and maintain the relationship.

As for the really, what is a raccoon dog?

No kidding, if you have a good relationship with Zipperton, you might as well hold on to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

California is Roland's foundation, and how reliable is it to have a good relationship with the future governor than to eat a hamburger every day with a white-eyed commander?

What's more, the zipper itself is unreliable.

And just as everything in the outside world was going on in an orderly manner, the most important first thing for Roland also happened, that is, Kate caught a cold and did not treat it in time, which caused pneumonia.

The cause of the incident is actually filming.

On the morning of December 3, Kate just finished filming the scene of dancing in the lower class cabin with Roland, she changed her clothes in the hot and dry, and then threw herself into the filming of the scene where the lower class cabin was flooded......

On the night of December 5, when Roland found that Kate was coughing, he touched the other party's forehead, and after finding that the other party's body was amazingly hot, even if Kate wanted to get through it by taking medicine, it was stopped by Roland and dragged directly to the hospital......

After a series of examinations, Kate, who had a fever of 39 degrees, was thrown into the ward by Roland, and the truck driver also began to shoot other people's scenes.

There's no way, who made the heroine sick at the same time, and the hero also went on strike?

If it were someone else, the truck driver would have been beeping a long time ago, but Roland...... Hehe......

If he doesn't come, no one can do anything!

During the five days that Kate was hospitalized, Roland was always by her side, and because she wanted to vomit when she touched the meat and greasy, the most common chicken noodle soup in America and Canada was lost to her, and the most common ginger whiskey in the rotten country was directly passed by Roland.

As for everyone's recommended ice cream to reduce fever?

Roland simply couldn't accept such a remedies!

Because of this, Kate also saw what is the food gene of the big foodie country engraved in her bones.

Although Roland can't cook a big meal, things like tomato and egg noodles, lean porridge, honey and red date soup, lotus seed soup, pork ribs and stewed radish, these gadgets that have not been made for many years can still be made, and Kate was also fascinated by the different food, and directly said......

"Do you know how to cook Chinese food?"

The round little eyes and the bloodless plain makeup, although not as glamorous and moving as after the makeup, but it looks extremely cute, and Roland did not hide it, and generously admitted, "Yes." ”

It is actually normal for Americans to eat Chinese food, Brad Pitt has eaten it in the "Rohan" series, and Anne Hathaway's "Hiding from the Sea: Beauty Tricks" also has shots of eating Chinese food with chopsticks.

Not only that, but it makes more sense for Jews to eat Chinese food, because every year at Christmas, many restaurants are closed, and only Chinese restaurants that don't celebrate Christmas much stay open, and Jews who are also only Christmas go to Chinese restaurants to eat during the Christmas holidays.

Over time, they got used to it, so it wasn't a new thing for Roland, who had a good relationship with the Jews, to know this.

But for Kate, it was an unexpected surprise, "In the past 20 years, my parents haven't cooked much for me, this ...... This...... This ......"

Looking at the excited incoherent figure in front of the hospital bed, Roland, who was lying on the guardrail, asked with a smile: "Then, how do you feel about what I am doing?"

Today, Roland made Kate a red date and honey soup, because it was peeled and pitted, so the scattered flesh was spread in a bowl like a goddess scattering flowers.

The golden honey and dark flesh of the fruit, together with the red beans and apples for garnishing, create a layered texture of the food itself.

Because it can't be eaten too sweet, so the honey is diluted a lot by water, a spoon down, while scooping up a large piece of apple flesh and red date soup and red bean grains, the honey flowing down the spoon will not drip like water instantly, nor will it be as viscous as honey, but like a brush, leaving several clear lines in the air, after a few seconds, it will split apart and fall into the bowl.

Facing this bowl of sweets that Roland had been busy for more than two hours and had almost been drunk by Kate, the guy leaning there pouted and said, "It's not delicious."

He also added, "Not sweet enough." ”

Not sweet enough?

Seeing what Kate said seriously, Roland picked up the spoon and tasted the rest of the sweet soup in confusion-

No, doesn't it taste just right?

And while he was puzzled and savored, Kate, who looked at this action, also showed a playful smile.

After capturing the other party's expression, Roland, who had reacted, suddenly stepped forward and lightly touched his bloodless lips, "What now?" ”

"It tastes good, I like ......" Laquette, who was satisfied, narrowed her eyes like a cat.

According to the structure of the European and American medical systems that follow the laws of nature, Kate was actually discharged from the hospital on the third day, and then she could rest in the hotel, but Roland insisted on letting her stay for two more days.

In five days, her three meals were all made by Roland herself, she went back to the hotel at six o'clock, delivered porridge at eight o'clock, returned at ten o'clock, had lunch at twelve o'clock, stepped on at five o'clock, started her meal on time at seven o'clock, and kept vigil with the bed at night.

And Kate was still reading at the bedside to relieve her boredom at first, but after two days, her pages did not move, standing at the window, watching the familiar vehicle leave in a hurry, looking into the distance, waiting for the other party to come again.

After seeing the familiar figure get out of the car, Kate in front of the window rushed to bed at a trot, pulled on the futon and put on an eye patch, and tried to make a sound sleep.

Although it has always been said that everyone will always remember their own kindness to others, and will selectively forget what others have done to themselves, ......

It's just that you're ugly and you don't have any money.

When the external conditions and material foundation are all full, people will actually look forward to your efforts very much......

Especially the hands-on effort......

After being discharged from the hospital, when she returned to the crew, Kate wrapped herself in a men's coat to keep warm when she had nothing to do, and at dinnertime, she no longer dragged Roland to find a restaurant to eat, but picked and picked in the supermarket near the hotel.

Although her cooking skills are not good, it is still no problem to wash and cut, and in the process of cooking with Roland, she also understands that the appropriate amount that she can't understand in Chinese cooking books is actually the meaning of adding as much to the pot as the person she likes wants to eat......

As for the taste?

If you like it, just like it......

After eating, they did not wash the dishes and cooking utensils with assistants, took a nap for a while, and then went out to eat, held hands, and walked on the familiar streets.

Of course, even in this state, Kate was still very nervous on Christmas Eve.

From the beginning of the crew, she was asking questions, grabbing Roland's palm and sweating constantly, looking like a deer crashing, Roland secretly smiled, "It's not necessary, right?" Why are you so nervous? ”

"If I let you see my parents on Christmas Eve, will you be calm?" Kate asked rhetorically.

"Of course you can, because you won't be able to get back to England today." Anyway, it's not Roland going to see Kate's parents now, so he doesn't feel a backache when he stands and talks.

Hearing him say this, Kate immediately pinched Roland's waist with her hand, until Roland cried out in pain, she snorted angrily and said, "You have been telling me before, you have a very good relationship with them, they will give you whatever you want, although it is the relationship of adoptive parents, they have always regarded you as their own son......"

“…… How can you let me see this! ”

If it's an intimate, it's okay, after all, Europe and the United States don't pay attention to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, but Roland is different now, the relationship between the two sides is even closer than the biological one, since this is the case, then Kate can't care less about their opinions.

Roland naturally understood that it was better to be sparse than blocked at this time, so he said very approvingly: "Yes, they have always regarded me as their own son...... I helped with the Olsen sisters' film projects...... When James and I were at odds, David and Garnetty were always on my side......"

Roland didn't say that it was okay, but Kate became even more nervous when he said it, and in order to calm her down, Roland encouraged the other party to take a nap with him.

So, Kate, who was looking for stability, lay down in Roland's arms, and then, Roland stroked the other party's back and sang a lullaby to help her fall asleep.

Maybe it was because she really felt settled, or maybe it was because listening to Roland's heartbeat helped her sleep, and after tossing for a while, Kate fell asleep, so that when she parked, she didn't know how to open her eyes when she was called.

The night was dark, and the different brilliance of Christmas costumes made the all-enlarged villa of Alan and Olson's family seem very warm, Kate was dragged out of the car by Roland in a daze, and before she could react, Roland had already pointed to the two figures in front of the door for Kate to recognize, "Dad, Mom......"

Hearing this, David and Ganetti, who received the news and went out to greet them, were stunned, and they were thinking in their hearts, 'Roland didn't change his mind when he lost his parents, why...... Suddenly your brain is pumping? ’

But Kate, who was still in the stage of restarting her head, instinctively shouted out......

“Dad，Mom……”

In an instant, these two simplest words were like a giant hammer, smashing Kate into a spirit, and also making the Olsen couple smile when they reacted.

"Oh, good boy, everyone is waiting for you, don't stand at the door, come into the house and talk."

David was the first to accept the title, and after hugging Roland, he stepped aside.

Garnetty was also very powerful, holding Kate's hand with a smile on his face, "We kept telling Roland that you don't need to call us Mom, Dad, but he won't change his words, so we let him go...... Now, it looks like he's spoiled you, if you don't like it, just call me Ganetti, it's okay, just a title, David and I don't care, I don't think Roland will care either......"

A special name for God!

The god-like Roland doesn't care!

Kate, who came to her senses, first looked at the unusually friendly Olsons, and then at Roland, who had succeeded in his treacherous plan and had nothing to hide, and she was immediately laughed angrily...... 'Okay! All right! Roland, do you dare to trick me? ’

'You're done! ’

'No problem! ’

'How about I just change my mind as you wish?' ’

Just when everyone thought that Kate would not lose Roland's face in front of everyone, Kate also smiled, took Ganetti's hand and said: "Roland has always told me that you treat him like a parent and dad, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is now, he is very grateful to you for ......"

"Therefore, the last criterion for him to choose a mate is to bring the girl he loves back to meet you, and then change his mouth to live in, hoping that his love will be the same as your experience, ...... for a long time"

"Right? My dear? ”

When Kate smiled and hugged Roland's arm, how could Roland, who was still showing a successful smile, not know that Kate was unilaterally pronounced that he had lost in the confrontational disagreement?

The last criterion for choosing a mate is to bring it into the house to change your mouth?

What is the insistence on not acting?

If Roland agreed, then he would admit it first, and if he didn't agree, wouldn't it be a disguised denial of the relationship between his Olsons and his wife?

It's not good to do this for the New Year!

So, Roland, who tasted the taste of lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, said helplessly: "Good, let's go in......"

Although Roland did not answer, Kate was quite satisfied with his heartfelt attitude, and that 'good 'good' was the best promise for the Olsons.

Looking at the two people who entered the house, they couldn't help but look at the villa close to the side.

I haven't moved for eight years, just for this moment!

"Alan, your son is doing better than you now."

When David whispered these words, Garnetty also took her husband's hand, "Let's go, the children are in......"

As she entered the house, she added, "Don't close the door, they ...... will come. ”
