Chapter 474: The Beginning

On Friday nights, the cinema is especially lively.

"Helen, what do you want to see?"

"There's nothing special you want to watch, just choose a movie you like today, and then I'll watch it with you."

"Really? Then I'll choose this "taken"! It is said that the script was written by the mysterious laobai, and it is very good at the box office in China, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time! “

"Huaxia films? And it's a modern-day secret service story, are you sure? “

"Of course, I'm pretty sure! Let's go, I promise you won't be disappointed......"

……

"It seems that there are still a lot of people looking forward to this movie."

Watching a pair of young men and women go to the window to buy tickets, Mubey? Rachard's eyes narrowed, and he smiled as he looked at his companion.

"Hehe, the propaganda is in place!"

Shrugged, Hank? Washington nodded: "If the issuing company finds the right point of publicity, the effect will naturally not be bad." You must know that an agent film of modern China will definitely not be interested in Americans, but if the screenwriter is the laobai who arranged the new songs of Fei Fei Chen and Huaxia Luo, then everyone's interest will naturally come. At least fans of the two superstars will probably be very interested. ”

"Well, I'm afraid it's not these fans."

With another frown, Mube gestured to a position beside him with his eyes.

Hank? Washington turned his head to look over, stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly - not far from them, a father in his forties with a teenage daughter was explaining to her the movie he was going to watch today: "Baby, this movie is about a father who goes overseas to rescue his kidnapped daughter, I heard that it is great, I think you should watch it......"

In the hearts of the two filmmakers, a strange feeling rose at the same time.

"Perhaps, you should bring Anna over when you go back!"

Glancing at a girl about the same age as her own daughter, Hank? Washington couldn't help but sigh.

Mube? Rashart also smiled and nodded: "Today we will complete the company's task first, if the movie is really good...... Haha, I really don't mind taking Elizabeth to the cinema tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! “

"Alright, let's go buy a ticket first!"

Looking at the time and the big screen above the ticket window, Hank? Washington said with a smile.

Both came today with a mission, because Francis? Mr. Philips commissioned them to take a look at the Chinese title "Hurricane Rescue" and then take a good look at another script written by Laobai. Of course, "Frozen" is now more than halfway through production, and how Laobai's films didn't have any effect on it at all, but Mr. Philips still seems eager to make sure......

"Two tickets to Taken, thank you!"

Pulled out a big fifty-dollar ticket, Hank? Washington handed the black aunt at the ticket window.

Glancing up at Hank? Washington, the black aunt said expressionlessly: ""Taken" has only been shown at half past eight and ten at nine-tenth in the last hour, but there are no good positions, you can take a look...... Take your pick of two! “

It's strange for two middle-aged men to watch a movie together......

The probe looked at the screen, although there is still a lot of green, but there is no good position.

"Hmm...... That's it! ”

Soon two positions were chosen, Hank? Washington smiled and asked, "I'm sorry, isn't this a Chinese movie?" Why are so many people still watching it today? “

"Because there are no good films, and watching the trailer seems to be a good movie."

While handily punching out movie tickets for them, the black aunt replied casually. However, she didn't seem interested in chatting with Hank, so she quickly handed over the two tickets: "Okay, your tickets, Cinema Hall 4 is on the right hand side after entering the first floor...... Next! “

"Thank you!"

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, Hank? Washington shrugged helplessly at his friend: "It looks like one more thing should be added, their luck is really good - the reputation of Bruska Films' "June" has completely collapsed, and it seems to have created a good schedule for this movie!" “

"Haha, luck is also a kind of strength, isn't it?"

Listen to Hank? Washington said so, Mubey? Rashalt burst out laughing.

As a professional filmmaker, Mube? Laschart actually had a hard time believing in luck, preferring to believe that it was the publisher of "Taken" who evaluated the potential of "June" and decided to take a gamble...... Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, because "June" is too popular, and there are few good movies in the same period, so they are willing to throw this "taken" in and give it a try.

"Here we are, here it is!"

Walked to the gate of Cinema Hall 4, Hank? Washington stopped: "Or you go in first?" I want to go to the bathroom...... By the way, do you want Coke and fries, or popcorn? “

"I've recently lost weight, and a bottle of water will do."

Shaking his head, Mubey? Lacharet said with a smile.

An old friend went into the bathroom next to him, but Mube? Rascharte did not enter the theater directly, but stood quietly at the door and watched the people who walked in.

It's not too much, but it's definitely not too little!

Wait until Hank? When Washington came back with something, Mubey? Rashalt squinted his eyes and smiled: "Although it is a small theater with only eighty seats, but within six minutes of you leaving, fourteen spectators walked in, and the attendance rate is quite high!" “

"Oh? Does that mean the box office will be good in the first weekend? “

"My judgment is so, it should be okay."

Nodding, Mubey? Rashart smiled bitterly: "There is one more thing...... I should have seen it for myself today, and now I finally realize that going to the cinema with you was a huge mistake! “

"Huh? Why? “

For the embarrassment of an old friend, Hank? Washington was rather at a loss.

Rolled his eyes, Mubey? Rashart said helplessly: "Look at the eyes of those children...... Forget it, let's hurry inside, my face is starting to get a fever......"

……

Thanks to the Internet era, the box office data is very timely.

So when Sun Peng saw the North American box office of the first weekend of "Hurricane Rescue", a pair of eyes couldn't help but widen: "What? Only six million? This...... Didn't write a single digit in front of it, right? ”

"Write one less digit? What do you mean? ”

Looking at Sun Peng's surprised eyes, Lin Lin asked a little blankly.

Zheng Jia looked at her boyfriend, then at Lin Lin, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile beside her: "Hehe, Sister Linlin, he means too little, at least there should be sixteen million meanings!" ”

"Sixteen million? How dare you think about it! ”

After finally understanding what Sun Peng meant, Lin Linle said: "Do you think this is an American movie?" is still 16 million, do you know how many Chinese movies can reach 6 million in the first weekend in the United States? All of the previous ones add up to only fourteen, you know? In other words, your film is ranked seventh, and among modern films, your "Hurricane Rescue" is ranked third...... Any idea what that means? “

"What does that mean?"

Blinked, Sun Peng still looked unhappy.

"It means that as long as the word of mouth goes up, the box office of the hurricane will explode."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Lin said seriously: "Although it can't be compared with the domestic box office, if "Hurricane Rescue" has a high box office in the United States, the benefits to you in the future will be great......"
