In April 2005, the North American box office of "Eyes from the Mountain" crossed the $100 million mark, and the global box office also reached $147.52 million.

Warner Bros. held another grand celebration for the film.

It is also to build momentum for the next DVD sale.

When Martin walks the red carpet alone on the hotel, countless shots automatically turn to him.

"Martin, laugh!"

"Look over here!"

The enthusiasm of the reporter is like the charming Latin girl on the customs street of Tijuana, eager to pounce on and pull people.

Martin entered the hotel banquet hall, and someone immediately greeted him and gave him a hug, put his arm around his shoulders and shouted: "The North American box office of our horse has exceeded 100 million!" ”

Then he laughed again.

Martin was as happy as director Ajia, saying: "We are now members of the 100 million box office club!" ”

In terms of fame, the ones who benefited the most were Martin and director Ajia.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was as warm as if a volcano had erupted.

Craven asks Martin and Aka to wash their faces after the feast.

"It's been a long time since you've organized a party." Craven is old-hearted: "The last party was so good, I lost interest in other people's parties. ”

Ah Jia was also bewitched: "I'll give you the money, you come up with a creative idea." ”

"It's a time to organise and plan this kind of party, and there's been so much going on lately that I'm going to Atlanta to shoot a new film soon, so how about I come back from Atlanta?" ”

Craven said, "Yes." ”

When the two of them went somewhere else, Daniel came looking for them.

Martin had a drink with him and asked, "How many DVD sales are expected?" ”

"For $35 million to $45 million, DVD horror movies have always sold well, and the rental market will not perform badly," Daniel said. ”

Martin asked this, because it was a matter of vital interest, and although he did not personally sign a sharing agreement, the unified agreement between the Screen Actors Guild and the Producers Union stipulated that the main actors could share from various post-production copyright revenues.

There are many blockbuster movies starring in them, and they can even earn millions of dollars a year.

The most typical is Morgan Freeman, who has starred in the main supporting roles of countless popular movies, has a certain share of the equity, and later accumulated a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars by virtue of the advantage of numbers.

Daniel has one more thing: "Warner Bros. has the power to start the sequel, and the production company is proposing to prepare a sequel, are you interested?" ”

Martin politely refused: "The story about the male protagonist has been told, and I, Ajia, and Craven didn't think about a sequel at the time." ”

He added: "My schedule is not suitable, and when the filming of "Departed" is finished, it is estimated that it will be almost the end of the year." ”

Daniel understood this and said, "It's a shame. ”

At the end of the party, the three Martins got rid of the paparazzi and went to wash their faces together.

Subsequently, Warner Bros. took advantage of the film's box office popularity of over 100 million to promote the DVD to be released.

Similarly, the DVD title is implanted with a summer ad for jeans.

The Red Box chain Burbank Commercial Plaza store has not yet opened on this day, and a large number of fans holding Martin posters lined up at the door.

Jessica and Emily are among them.

Rachel was naturally indispensable, and she beckoned: "There are still ten minutes to open the door, everyone don't mess up, keep order." ”

Phoebe in the back held up a sign book: "I brought another gift for Martin." ”

Jessica reacted quickly and hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

In case Martin was asked to write down the greetings they had sent last time, she would have to find a way to leave an autograph book.

The roster of hundreds of signatures is also too embarrassing for Martin.

Phoebe said: "A few friends and I wrote a message to Martin. ”

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the announcements posted on the blog and MSN group, many people in the fan group rushed over one after another.

The first signed DVD of the supported movie stars, they certainly won't miss.

Inside the store, the DVD of "Eyes from the Mountain" is placed on the most conspicuous shelf, and a table is placed in the vacant space nearby.

Someone shouted: "It's time to open the store!" ”

Martin sat down behind his desk, took the pen from Bruce, and waited patiently for the fans to enter.

As the roller shutter door rose, a male fan under the age of 20 rushed into the store, grabbed a commemorative $39.9 DVD and ran to Martin's desk.

Martin took the initiative to stretch out his fist: "Man, congratulations, you won the jackpot." ”

"My name is William!" The man slammed his fist into Martin and hurriedly handed the disc over.

Martin swiped his name on it and said, "I remember you." ”

William was overjoyed and happily went to pay.

There was already a queue at the back, and Phoebe was the second to come over, handing over a signed book in addition to the DVD.

Martin signed the DVD and said, "You're Phoebe." ”

Phoebe was very happy and said, "Martin, I brought you a gift." ”

Martin has seen it, and it's another autograph book, and he hasn't memorized the previous one.

Forget it, he's given up on treatment altogether.

"Thank you." Martin opened it and looked at it, and as expected, it was a greeting from many people.

Phoebe didn't waste time and picked up the DVD: "Goodbye, Martin, I will continue to support you." ”

"Goodbye."

Martin took the third disc, signed it, and returned the disc with a smile and nodded: "Thank you for your support." ”

As an actor with professional ethics, Martin doesn't care about anything else at this moment, he takes every fan he sees and everyone who comes over, he will greet him with a smile, making consumers feel like a spring breeze.

These are all food and clothing.

No matter how tired the wrist is, it will not be more tiring than playing screws in the factory and being a martial artist.

If you laugh for a long time, your facial muscles will stiffen, and it will not be more difficult than when facing directors, producers, and investors, laughing and pleasing and toasting.

One pen ran out of water, so it was replaced.

When Bruce saw Martin's smiling face and enthusiasm, he also secretly admired that Martin was a bad person, but he was also a bad person with professional qualities.

It was close to 11:30 a.m., and Martin's autograph time had arrived, and there were still many people lining up inside and outside the store.

For today's store alone, DVD sales are booming.

Martin took advantage of the time to move his wrist, turned back to Bruce and said, "You go and communicate, the signing time is extended, and I will invite all the employees in the store to eat pizza at noon." ”

Bruce went over to talk to the person in charge, and the two quickly came to an agreement, and he returned to Martin and called Jessica to ask her and Emily to order pizza at a well-known nearby store.

Martin continued to sign autographs, and Bruce thought for a moment, moved a little away from the crowd, went to a secluded place, and dialed several paparazzi, including Jody.

When a popular movie star gives up lunch and lunch break, and takes the initiative to sign autographs for fans, how can he not report such a big event?

The signing lasted until just over 12 o'clock.

As soon as the large number of fans dispersed, a store vehicle delivered multiple pizzas.

Bruce didn't rush to eat, found the cameraman, and said, "Give me a copy of the video." ”

He found the store manager again and pointed to the surveillance that could see Martin: "I want the video here, after 11 o'clock." ”

Today's business is very good, and the manager has also been told to cooperate with the signatory, and immediately said: "You come with me." ”

Ten minutes later, Bruce left the store, entered the mall, and went to the parking lot through another door.

Came to the Volkswagen and sent a text message, and after a few minutes of waiting, Jodi, wearing a baseball cap, opened the passenger door and got into the car.

Bruce handed her the drive: "Martin's latest news." ”

Jody put it away, was about to get out of the car, stopped again, and asked, "Did Martin and Anne's USB drive leave it on purpose?" ”

Bruce is not stupid, and of course he will not admit it: "You should ask Anne Hathaway's assistant for this kind of question." ”

Jody benefited a lot from that video and said, "If you still have this opportunity, you can take advantage of me." ”

She was serious: "I don't mind being taken advantage of by you, really. ”

A video sells for tens of thousands of dollars, and Jody would have liked to come a few more times for such an opportunity.

Bruce didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "You can go." ”

Jody got out of the car with the USB drive, quickly returned to the newly bought car, got in the car and hurried back.

Jody takes the news about Martin very seriously, and the last time she gained a lot, from the camera to the DV to the vehicle, her equipment was completely updated.

In the past few months, she has not sold as much news as Martin has gained from filming several first-line stars.

Those stars who have been famous for a long time are not as good as Martin.

Bruce got out of the car and heard an argument.

When I looked back casually, I saw some boys in school uniforms arguing, and Fack's words kept ringing.

These people are not very old, they are only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Seven or eight tall guys, surrounded by three people.

The campus culture in the United States, whether public or private, has an extremely long history, even a tradition.

Bruce drove to the exit of the mall and quickly waited for Martin and the others.

The others got into a van, and Martin took a box of pizza and got into the car driven by Lao Bu.

He opened the pizza box: "Eat and go." ”

Bruce moved out of the way, picked up the pizza and ate it.

Martin pulled out another can of Coke and gave it to him.

Bruce swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "It can't be that expired, right?" ”

Martin put it on the armrest box: "How precious is that batch of expired Coke, can you drink it as much as you want?" ”

Bruce was not at ease with Martin's rotten man, so he picked it up and looked at the production date.

"What about trust between people? Lao Bu, you have betrayed my trust in you too much. Martin moved his wrist and spotted a clash dozens of meters in front of him.

Seven or eight boys in school uniforms were chasing the other three.

Bruce also saw it: "I was arguing just now, and now it's fighting." ”

The two groups of people alarmed the mall security guards, and several security guards came out and shouted a few times, and the crowded side scolded and left.

The side with fewer people supported each other and walked in opposite directions.

After eating half a pizza, Bruce started the car and drove Martin to the store where he signed the sale in the afternoon.

On the other side, three white boys staggered away with blue noses and swollen faces.

This is not the first time that they have been in conflict, and in recent months they have been repeatedly oppressed.

Because they are immigrants from Russia, and something big happened in the family, and no one stood up for them.
