() "On July 10, the United States Eastern Daylight Time, a severe summer heat wave hit all parts of the country, except for Maine, the maximum temperature in 48 states in the continental United States today will exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and according to the latest warning data released by the National Weather Service, the temperature in the northeast, Midwest and southern plains of America will break through the 110 degrees Fahrenheit mark in the next few days! Chicago and other places will even exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Whether you're an adult or a child, stay home! Don't go out! If there are animals in the house, they are also locked in the house! Shut up in the shed! Don't let them out! ”

"In this kind of weather, cows can be roasted to death!"

During the daylight in early July, a stern warning from a radio anchor came from the television set in the living room.

The loud roar like Ma Jingtao's possession, Roland couldn't help but shake his head when he heard it-

"Gotcha! These ninety-five years are considered wasted again! ”

Joined the group at the end of January, closed the camera at the beginning of July, and spent five months to shoot a superhero movie, which is more than enough, and as time goes by, the guys in the crew are gradually excited, in addition to the reason that they can go on vacation after filming, those guys who have movies released in the summer of 95 are also looking forward to this year's box office market.

The shocking incident of Simpson's wife murder in 94 stirred up the box office market that should have been thriving, and after that, a bunch of trivial messes directly smashed the box office market of the year!

The natural disaster that occurred at the beginning of the ninety-five years made people feel that the life of the last two years was the difficulty of Zhente Niang, and many people expected that with the arrival of the summer vacation of the ninety-five year, the entertainment market would bloom with the influx of young people and new vitality, but no one expected that the students had not been on vacation for two weeks, and a death heat wave swept through the Midwest region of America......

What is the concept of a regular temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit?

If you stand in any shady place without air conditioning, that special mother is in a spiral!

What is the concept that the Chicago area can even reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit if it exceeds 110 degrees Fahrenheit locally?

Roads and rails can be bent! The Bull Demon King ate a bite of grass there, and before he could regurgitate, he was already killed by the heat!

Of course, any disaster is just a description, and if it doesn't include data, it's a hooligan, and the worst thing to do in this regard is NBC's daily news broadcast, in addition to the nonsense that describes how hot it is today, the data is also shocking.

Beginning on July 10, Wisconsin's five-day heat killed 850 cows, accumulating 85 deaths.

With Chicago opening its summer centers, the number of deaths due to the heat in five days has climbed to 500.

There were wildfires in Southern California, but fortunately, those who might have caused the same trouble as the Australian birds were also killed by the heat, and even though it was difficult to extinguish the fire, there was no bird throwing burning dead branches and igniting the state.

Due to the heat and lack of rain, the farmland is cracked, and the growth of crops has been seriously affected, and the corn and soybeans that are about to bloom are almost dead, followed by the skyrocketing food prices, five percent, seven percent are all small amounts, soybeans and corn have risen by two or three percent, which is too common, and because of the law that dead poultry is not allowed to enter the market, chicken has tripled in 20 days!

In this case, the governor of Ohio even called on the citizens to pray to God for rain!

When Roland, who was hiding at home and blowing the air conditioner, saw the news, his eyes almost popped out!

Dig the groove! Pray for rain from God? What is the difference between this and Hallelujah's fight against the pandemic?

The Universe is worthy of being the Universe Country!

Even this kind of sword takes a sharp curve, has you learned ten out of ten?

"Don't laugh at people, they can't help it."

Like Roland, David who hid at home because of the high temperature and scorching heat wave, and watched TV on the sofa, shook his thighs on the coffee table and sighed: "In our central region, there is actually no air conditioning. ”

“what？” Hearing this, Roland, who was still there wondering whether God would appear and give his followers a reminder that 'it will rain only after the chicken has eaten the rice, the dog has licked the noodles, and the fire has broken the locks', raised his head in surprise.

"David, what did you say?"

"They don't have air conditioning?"

"Of course they don't have air conditioning!" Before David could respond, James, who was also lying on the side, cast a contemptuous look at Roland, "If you go to school, then you know!" ”

"Not all households are air-conditioned, most of the people who have air-conditioning equipment are residents living in the cities on the east coast and west coast, and only about 20 percent of the peasant households in the south and central and western regions have air-conditioning equipment."

“why？” Roland couldn't understand it, because in the past five years, he had this thing everywhere he went.

"Because of the cost." After seeing that his son had the meaning of diss Roland, David popularized the social status quo to this guy who does not go to school all year round, "Although electricity is a necessity for every family's life, it also has wiring. ”

"Pull from left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally, but once it's built, it won't change."

"When the main wire network is built, the next connection is actually people's own business, and because most of the farmers in the central region are engaged in farming and planting, living too scattered, so it is a strange thing not to stay away from the main wire network, and if you want to let the power company lay the network for them, then you have to pay for yourself, a line is almost more than 70,000 a mile, a little farther, the root line has to be millions, do you think those farmers will spend their own money to pick up? If not, then they can only get a small generator to generate electricity by themselves, and the electricity generated by the generator cannot support the use of air conditioning. ”

"So, the governor of Ohio can only ask them to pray to God, because of the prayer of the Federation, and the Federation can't afford to build a power grid for them, which is a public utility, but it also has to talk about operating costs."

Yes, those who are killed by the heat in the central region are basically real poor people who do not have air conditioning or even fans, and they can only stay at home without protection measures, hoping that their lives will be harder than this heat wave.

And in this case, the governor takes the lead in praying, and that is normal.

Of course, although the dead are all poor, the impact of the heat wave on all walks of life is still very large, the most typical is the summer file that Roland said - you stand under the sun for three seconds, and the smoke coming out of your head can make you gather three flowers and five qi to soar, so that no one dares to go to the theater?

Walking with an umbrella?

You can melt as much as SpongeBob SquarePants!

Blowing the air conditioner while driving?

Believe it or not, as soon as you hit the road, you have already ascended to heaven with people and cars?

The rails can be bent in the sun! It's so normal for a flat tire!

As a result, when the outside temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit......

All film companies, like ninety-four, played good GA again!

Warner Pictures directly announced that "Batman 3: Batman Forever", which will be released on June 16, has a high probability of loss;

Disney also lowered its box office estimate for "Pocahonta", which was released at the same time;

After "Apollo 13", which has only been released for ten days, has stolen nearly 100 million at the box office, Universal decisively announced that under the influence of the death heatwave, the North American box office is expected to be about 150 million;

And those of them who were released in advance are not the worst, the worst ones are just stepping on the point of release......

For example, Steven Seager's "Hidden Dragon 2", the first movie was released in October '92 during the garbage schedule, and the box office took 15 million in the first weekend, but the second sequel was released in the summer, and the box office in the first weekend was only 12 million.

Director Chris Columbus, who previously collaborated with Roland in the "Home Alone" series, wrote a new work "September Pregnant", which died violently at the North American box office of 69 million due to the heat wave.

is also a small-budget horror film like "Xenomorph", and a large-scale love movie like "Dominant", which can 'make a lot of money', of course, this is also compared with their cost.

The vast majority of movies are still loss-making.

To be honest, the sudden death in the summer of '94 can be understood, after all, it was all made up by fart people who like to march! If it weren't for Michael Jackson being searched first, even if the impact of the Simpson wife murder case was great, it would not be possible for all the people to stay at home and watch the live broadcast analysis every day!

But—

After the Simpson murder case, they can't understand the strange development trend!

They can understand bad luck once, they can tolerate bad luck twice, but bad luck three, four, five times in a row......

Is this the whole industry going backwards?

Heavy rains and floods at the beginning of the year, death and heat waves in the middle of the year, and the end of the year will be in the next century ice age?

Ahh ……

I'd rather be playing games here! The frequency of this kind of natural disasters is too fake!

Of course, although it is difficult for Hollywood, the entertainment factory of the ball, to understand what the situation has been in the past two years, while each family is liquidating the losses, they have found a very serious problem -

Bridge bean sacks!

Not everyone is losing!

Those two guys who want to stand on their own don't seem to have been affected by this series of problems at all!

Since the box office record of one billion in film history in 93, the two of them have disappeared, of course, it is a bit inappropriate to say this, after all, Spielberg's old man won the first best director and best picture in his life in 94, and Roland also appeared in "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King", but-

They don't seem to lose money on these projects, right?

Not only that, but it's still a big profit!

…………

"That's not right! Why are they unaffected? ”

When calculating how much the expected income of this summer will drop compared with last year, Paramount, which launched "Congo Horror" in early June but was not popular with the market, but made a small profit from the low-cost comedy romance "Dominant", which was a bit of a taste.

After all, they only launched Forrest Gump last year.

Although Tom Hanks took a lot of money, Paramount was still the one who gained the most.

But this year's data has been ......

Hey! It's good not to lose money!

…………

"Maybe it's too lucky, right?"

Disney, which also only released the animated movie "Pocahonta" this year, also felt that something was wrong, but after considering that "The Lion King" may, should, probably, and probably not because of Roland's joining, it would sell so well, Disney temporarily threw its doubts to the back of its head!

After all, predicting the future is something like that!

They are indeed engaged in movies, but they are not good at secondary school!

What kind of monsters, spaceships, these are all fakes, okay!

Entertainment! Brain-dead will take it seriously!

…………

"But the problem is, their luck seems to be a little unscientific!"

"Steven's side can still use the long-term contract to expire, and he wants to jump out of us, how do you know that when he was forming the company, he happened to encounter a bunch of bad things and happened to escape, but how can Roland explain it?"

"As a new A+List, I haven't accepted projects for a year and a half, which is incomprehensible!"

"Don't say anything about preparing for Spider-Man! He obviously started preparing after the Simpson case broke out last year! ”

Universal, which invested in the issuance of Apollo 13, is suspicious of Roland's bizarre behavior.

No way, who made Roland the only guy who didn't star in a movie for three consecutive years after being promoted to A+List?

Don't say anything about "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King", these two movies are obviously half-connected!

And although the just-filmed "Spider-Man" has not been finalized, what's the matter, it is also aimed at the summer of '96!

Looking at it this way, since the release of "Jurassic Park" in June 93, Roland has not had any works for three years!

And what about Harrison Ford, who previously put him in the analogy of the top supergiants?

After the release of "Star Wars" in '77, there was "Navaron Commando" in '78, and there was a pure circle of money "Star Wars Holiday Special Edition", and in 79 years, four works were released in one go, including "Apocalypse Now" and "Hanover Street", as well as "The Sequel to American Style Painting" that still circled money.

Even the actor Tom Hanks didn't think about taking a break, although one a year is not prolific, but it is still filming!

But Roland is good, he really went to Europe to play for more than two months!

…………

"But Roland's leave doesn't say anything......"

"After all, the reasons he gave for the development period and voice change period are still reliable......"

"Besides, he didn't have no losses, didn't he buy Castle Stone Pictures' "The Shawshank Redemption"? There is a high probability that this movie will not be able to sell the disc to return to its original cost, so it is natural to smash it in his hands, and if you look at it this way, he actually lost tens of millions in the turmoil, although we don't know why he bought the movie with a twitch of his head......"

And after Warner painfully classified the "Batman" series into the list of projects that may continue to lose money, they didn't feel that Roland was lucky, like Paramount, Disney, and Universal, but they also felt that Roland had something wrong with his brain!

The Simpson murder case has obviously happened, and you still go to buy "The Shawshank Redemption???

Didn't you get kicked in the head by a donkey?

If you really think you have a lot of money, then invest in our "Batman"!

Anyway, we're scared! We also want to find the wronged big head to share the cost!

…………

And with Warner, there is also Fox, which produced "Die Hard 3" this year and is sure to make money.

Although it is not because of "The Shawshank Redemption", the reasons are very different.

No way, who let Roland invest in David Fincher who dared to spray them angrily before?

In their eyes, David Fincher is nothing more than an iron man holding George Lucas's thighs!

If it weren't for George Lucas holding the "Star Wars" series in his hands, and Fox welcomed the possible sequel, they wouldn't have let David Fincher, the director, make "Alien 3"!

What's more, even if the reputation of "Alien 3" is not good, so what?

Under their interference, this movie still made a profit and killed all sides in the disc market!

If it was really made according to David Fincher's idea, I don't know what the whole movie would be!

"What luck did you get away from the calamity?"

"It's just a little kid who accidentally became popular by relying on the Jewish gang!"

"If a good actor is not right, what kind of production company do you have to open?"

"Do you really think the company is so easy to open?"

"The most important thing is that this kid can't see it either!"

"I bought a total of four films, and only Ang Lee's small-budget independent films made some money!"

"Do you really think the production is so good? A copy of "The Seven Deadly Sins" can kill you! ”

That's right, although there is no contradiction between Fox and Roland, who made David Fincher spit out a fragrant greeting to Fox in front of the media before?

For the sake of George Lucas's face, the absence of retaliation is already very restrained, as for wishing David Fincher a big hit?

No kidding, okay!

Although it is superficial and congenial, in reality, no one wants a competitor to be profitable!

Roland filmed them, of course, it was to raise all fours to welcome!

But did he do it himself?

I can't pay you for it!

"When will 'The Seven Deadly Sins' be released?"

"September 22nd? What kind of garbage schedule is this? We shouldn't have any movies, right? ”

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't, so if he loses, he won't be able to put the blame on us."

"Hey, wait......"

"It seems that the verdict of the Simpson wife murder case was officially announced on October 3rd?"

"I heard that the federal government has mobilized thousands of police officers to Los Angeles to prevent riots after the results are announced?"

"Isn't that right? Released on the 22nd, the movie died violently, and twelve days later, the verdict was announced on the 3rd, Simpson was found guilty, and "The Shawshank Redemption" had to be held in his hands for a long time and could not sell discs......"

"Even if he escapes the bleak film and television market for two consecutive years, what can he do?"

"Still have to lose money!"

At this point, there was a burst of 'good-natured' laughter in Fox's conference room.

Outside and peaceful, talk freely at home!

No one thought it was cursing Roland, and no one thought it was targeting Roland......

They think they're just stating a fact!

If the film and television industry really makes so much money, then there will be no record that only the Disney Group has not been acquired by a transaction in the 100 years since the birth of Hollywood!

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, this is indeed true.

But there is no film company that does not lose money in the early stages of development!

Amperin didn't do it! Lucasfilm didn't do it either! You Warcraft film and television, why do you do it?
