Chapter 255: Winner Takes All (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On Friday, just after the end of work, Ted casually packed up his desk, put his bag on his back and ran out.
A colleague who likes to rub his Coke caught up: "So anxious? ”
Ted said: "I worked overtime last night, I didn't go to the advance field, and if I don't go to the wanted notice today, I can explode on the spot." ”
A colleague pulled out a bottle of Coke with Martin's image on it and handed it to Ted: "Let's go." ”
The elevator room was packed, and Ted glanced at the time and said, "It's only six floors, let's climb the stairs." ”
The two of them turned into the safe passage, and after going downstairs, they didn't have to go far, this is the business district of Manhattan, and there is a theater a few hundred meters away.
As soon as Ted entered the front hall, he found that there were a lot of people today, and there was a long queue of dozens of people at the ticket office.
Colleagues hurriedly pulled him to join them.
There was another long line next to him, and several girls came at the same time, and the brown and black hair among them asked, "What are we looking at?" ”
The blonde girl said, "Look at the handsome guy! She pointed to the wanted poster: "Handsome guys and beauties, just choose this one!" ”
The shortest girl answered, "Wanted? I remember reading the reviews, and they were all praised, and the online newspapers said that the film was very good. ”
A boy nearby accosted: "That's right! This film is super beautiful and has a very good reputation. ”
Although the girls didn't talk, they decided to buy tickets for this film.
Not to mention, there are also promotions.
For each video, a small bottle of Coca-Cola is included.
This also influences the choice of some people.
A large poster hung in the auditorium: "Look Wanted, Martin Davis invites you to drink Coca-Cola!" ”
Ted finished buying the ticket, took the Coke he was given, and held it up to the Martin poster.
A colleague next to me said, "May the world have Coca-Cola." ”
Meanwhile, Atlanta, near the AMC Theater in the Northville neighborhood.
Elena, Lily, and Hall entered the screening room together.
They arrived a little late because they had to wait for Hall to finish their homework.
The attendance rate of the theater is relatively high, so I can only choose a relatively backward position.
Hall turned on the Coke and poured it into his stomach in one gulp, his eyes on the Coke in his sisters' hands again.
Elena threw him a bottle: "I don't want to be fat, drink less." ”
Lily didn't speak, but concentrated on counting the heads.
Listening to the young lady's mouth, Hall asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Don't bother me, you idiot!" Lily is almost interrupted, playing on the Carter tradition, raising her fist to intimidate Hall, and continuing to count heads.
Counted more than a dozen heads, and when the film was about to be screened, dozens of people rumbled in outside.
The men wore uniform red T-shirts, clearly members of the Cult of the Coke.
Lily was disrupted by the rhythm, simply didn't count, flattened her mouth, and said in her heart that I should be a saint!
Hall gloated: "I can't count it!" ”
Lily raised her fist and slammed it on Hall's head like her sister had done to her: "Idiot, shut your foul mouth!" ”
Hall's face is full of grief, but he has been suppressed since he was a child, and he can't do anything but obediently shut up.
Elena said at this time: "Don't count, looking at the attendance rate of this theater, the box office will definitely not be bad." ”
"Big sale!" Lily clasped her hands together: "It must be a big sale!" ”
Elena took Lily's bottle of Coke, opened it and took a sip, she was much calmer than Lily, and the film would definitely be a big hit.
On Friday, as a large number of audiences entered the theater to watch the movie, the number of scorers reached the requirements, and the IMDB score of the wanted warrant was officially unblocked, and the average user score was as high as 8.2 points.
As for how many of them are operations, even the outsourced trolls can't say clearly.
The CS theater audience who faces the first-tier market is scored above, and the comprehensive evaluation of the wanted warrant is A!
This means that the film has a good commercial index.
…………
Los Angeles, Sherman Oakes.
On Saturday, when the sun had just risen, Blake, wearing shorts and a T-shirt and pulling on his flip-flops, came to the door to open the mailbox, picked up a pile of newspapers and walked back.
She flipped through the newspaper as she walked, found the statistics page of The Hollywood Reporter, saw the North American box office figures counted on it, shook off her long legs, and walked briskly along the sidewalk by the pool towards the villa.
As soon as he entered the door, before he saw Martin, Blake shouted excitedly: "The wanted warrant is a big sale!" My dear, the wanted warrant is a big deal! ”
Martin walked from the kitchen into the dining room with a porcelain plate, and the person behind him was Bruce.
Lao Bu fried the eggs, turned around, and asked, "Did the box office exceed 20 million on the first day?" ”
Martin looked at Blake expectantly.
The latter nodded again and again, and the person laughed, and his face seemed to be a real eighteen years old: "21.67 million US dollars!" Yesterday's box office topper! ”
"That's great news!" Martin put down his plate and walked towards the wine cabinet: "We have a drink and celebrate!" ”
Blake had long wanted to drink: "Gotta have a toast to celebrate!" ”
Martin poured three glasses of champagne and waited for Bruce to take off his apron and say, "Guys, cheers to our success!" ”
Blake leaned over and kissed Martin first, and then clinked glasses with Martin: "Congratulations, honey!" ”
She clinked glasses with Lao Bu again, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank together.
After drinking, Blake was a little excited, put down the wine glass and newspaper, jumped directly on Martin, and took the initiative to ask for a kiss.
Bruce was dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, talk about civility and principles, don't feed people dog food at breakfast." ”
Martin hugged Blake to his seat and said, "Eat, let's go out together after eating." ”
This weekend, his propaganda mission was to take Blake on a variety of waves in crowded places in Los Angeles.
Blake's new film has also been officially established and needs a lot of exposure.
After breakfast, the two got into the Blues-driven Escalade and went straight to Rodeo Drive to shop.
There is no need for Bruce to make a special call, and a group of paparazzi are automatically followed behind.
Martin has long been used to it and doesn't care at all.
Blake seems to be born to live in the spotlight, and the more paparazzi reporters she has, the more excited she becomes, and frequently shows off the love between female fans and male gods.
Around the corner on the street, the paparazzi Jody couldn't help but spat after taking a photo of Blake feeding Martin ice cream mouth-to-mouth.
"Dog men and women who don't know how to converge will definitely die once the love period is over!" She was fed so much today that she wanted to vomit: "Which star who hyped up love and marriage can end up safely?" ”
Another paparazzi nearby couldn't stand it and answered: "How sweet it is now, how much it will be hated when they fall out in the future, I wish them to turn from lovers to enemies!" ”
Several paparazzi echoed: "I bless it too!" ”
"Bless them together!"
On the other side of the road, Martin seemed to be aware, turned his head, waved at the paparazzi warmly and friendly, and then turned his head to kiss Blake, and there was another passionate entanglement.
The wanted warrant is a big hit, and he is holding a young and beautiful girl, how can he be worthy of the jobs of the paparazzi entertainment reporters if he doesn't show it?
It's a winner-takes-all game of fame and fortune!
The paparazzi secretly scolded the dog man and woman, but their hands were very faithful to raise the camera and take pictures of the handsome man and beautiful woman.
Martin's phone rang at this point, and it was Sophia.
The words of the female King Kong are particularly direct: "Have we succeeded again?" ”
"There's no way it's going to be less than $50 million in the first week in North America! ”
Sophia laughed: "It's a new record!" In this way, I want to celebrate. ”
Martin asked, "How are you going to celebrate?" ”
Sophia said, "Nicholson, that old man is good, do me a favor, ask him out, I'll invite him to drink." ”
Martin could roughly guess what she wanted to do, and considering the safety of human life, he reminded: "The old man is almost seventy years old, and he will die!" ”
He didn't give Sophia a chance to make another request: "I have something to do here temporarily, and we'll talk about it another day." ”
In the hotel, Sophia heard a busy tone ringing in the phone receiver, but she was not angry.
Today she is in a good mood because the wanted warrant for investment is a big sale!
After all these years of hard work, Sophia can see very clearly, and it is more practical to have no money.
Scott walked over with his legs crossed and asked, "Isn't that old man coming?" ”
"Look at Martin's face, let him go." Sophia didn't think about these things anymore and dialed the number in Atlanta: "Vincent, it's me, have you seen the latest box office statistics?" Martin's film is another big hit, what do you think? ”
Vincent didn't think about it at all, and said directly: "Of course you want to continue to invest, does he have any new film projects?" ”
Sophia said: "There should be, I asked him the day before yesterday, it seems to be a type of thriller, suspense and action, similar to this wanted warrant." ”
Vincent added: "Martin has proven to be trustworthy and worth investing in, and you just have to call the shots." ”
"Well, continue to invest in new film projects starring Martin." Sophia hung up the phone, feeling better and better, especially wanting to exercise.
She walked towards the suite's fitness room and looked back at Scott, "Come on." ”
Scott obediently followed, and he was used to what was going to happen.
In addition to having to endure it, Sophia has all covered food, clothing, housing and transportation, and has no less than five-figure pocket money every month.
As early as more than a year ago, Scott chose to lie flat, and he was extremely comfortable, and occasionally bought gifts for his children.
Compared to Emma, who didn't know who he ran away with and disappeared his wife, Scott thought he was a qualified father.
Soon, the man's cry came from the gym, not in pain, but with pleasure.
On Friday, the R-rated rating of "Wanted" could not stop the enthusiasm of North American audiences, and the film won the North American box office list on the day with $21.67 million, beating Sam Mendes' "Pot Head".
On Saturday's rest day, the film's attendance increased slightly, collecting another $24.21 million in North America!
"Pot Head" and "Chicken Story", which were released at the same time, were all firmly pressed under the wanted warrant and rubbed, and it was impossible to turn over and surpass.
Although the box office of all released movies will decline on Sunday, Wanted still leads the way, and finally won the first North American box office list in November with a box office of $68.55 million!
This also set a new high in Martin and Jolie's acting careers.
