Las Vegas, in front of a theater.

A Rolls-Royce came to a slow stop.

Watzberg was dressed in civilian clothes, got out of the car very leisurely, his movements were very elegant, and he looked like a little old man who did not lack a pension.

After he got out of the car, the extravagant Nordin also got out of the car, arrogant and slightly frowning, as if he still minded how Watzberg always brought him to such an ordinary movie theater.

Watzberg didn't care, walked into the theater by himself, and lined up like ordinary people.

Nordin couldn't stand it anymore, just like a few days ago, he snapped his fingers, and the assistant next to him stepped forward directly, and after a while, the group chartered a movie hall.

"This is the bottom line, not next time."

Nordin said a word to Watts arrogantly, and then followed the staff directly to the theater.

Still shrugging his shoulders indifferently, Watts was glad to make the pretending prisoner deflated, and then he followed, and then asked, "Which movie did you choose?" ”

The assistant replied, "It's the Torture Chamber, Mr. Watzberg." ”

"Oh, "The Torture Chamber."

Watts doesn't have any opinions, this movie was released yesterday, and Lu Ping'an has already seen it yesterday, and he has also given the data, so he can play.

At this time, the theater is to watch a random movie and add a little fun to the betting game.

At the moment the betting game has been upgraded by Watzberg to bet on the whole March movie.

Although Lu Ping'an was speechless about this, since the bet is just a game, and the overall timeline and other factors have not changed significantly, the final result of the box office data of not his own movie should be very different, plus Watzberg begged him for a day, so he promised to take the time to watch the new movie every day, and then give a little professional prediction.

The predicted data naturally comes from Goldfinger, who records the original space-time box office data of each movie.

Of course, he also said, don't gamble to death.

Of course, Watzberg nodded repeatedly, but he didn't think Lu Ping'an would be wrong.

Even if it is wrong, the error is not too outrageous.

Over the years, he has already had such an awareness.

After entering the theater, the two sat down, and the theater manager came over to meet.

Then the countdown to the screening of the film began.

The two didn't talk much, they watched it first, and then discussed.

For three days, it was all the same.

Soon "The Torture Room" began to play.

The film is directed by Quentin and Rodriguez respectively, and consists of two separate stories, "Death Proof" and "Planet Terror".

"Death Proof" tells the story of the psychopathic killer Mike who mutilates a young girl, and "Terror Planet" tells the story of the dancer Cherie and her boyfriend who lead the survivors to escape after a zombie crisis breaks out in the town.

The overall story is still good.

Two directors with a large number of fans are in charge, and many fans think that their films are mainly bloody and violent, and it will really make the audience excited to be released in this way in Thriller Month.

At present, the Imbd score has come out, 7.7 points, which is extremely high.

The rating on Rotten Tomatoes is also as high as 84%.

The cost is 53 million, and the predicted box office given by the relevant media when it was first released yesterday is 100 million.

And the forecast given by Nordin's team is 85 million.

After watching the movie, Nordin smiled and asked, "My data doesn't change, what about yours?" ”

Watzberg was slightly flustered.

Because he thinks this movie is really not bad.

It's a cult film through and through, absurd, disgusting, violent, humorous, bloody, and visually striking.

In Thriller Month, it should be very suitable for horror movie fans.

The only problem seems to be that the set is too long, more than 190 minutes.

As a result, the number of screenings will be reduced by nearly half.

But coupled with the overall publicity, the number of theaters released, the appeal of the director and various famous guest actors in the film, etc., after comprehensive consideration, even if the market reaction is really not good, anyway, in his opinion, this film will not be less than 50 million.

But the problem is that Lu Ping'an's prediction yesterday will not exceed $30 million!

This answer is an exaggeration.

The cost is 53 million, the two directors are in charge, and the global box office is 30 million?

Trouble!

Watzberg hesitated, but finally said, "No more than 30 million!" No change! ”

Nordin was very surprised, he thought that this number was Watzberg's nonsense, and the real number had to wait until after watching the film, but now, 30 million is really his answer?!

"I'm asking you about the final global box office."

"Sure, it's 30 million! Well, see you tomorrow. ”

Watzberg got up and prepared to go to the bathroom.

Nordin didn't care, he was already very interested at this time.

Over the course of three days, the two made various predictions about various films.

Although the predicted box office varies, none of them are as big as today's one.

Even the difference in predictions for Human Eradication Plan 1 is not comparable.

The current pinnacle of three films,

In "Chainsaw 4", Watts predicts about 80 million in North America and about 160 million in the world, and the Notting team predicts about this number.

In "Death Day 2", Watts predicts that there will be about 50 million in North America and about 80 million in the world, and the data on Notting's side will be 10 million and 20 million less respectively.

The above two movies, the media's predictions are very different from theirs.

And the new series of "Human Eradication Plan", the three-party prediction is big.

The Nordin team feels that this kind of high-concept movie is very risky, and it is not directed by Lu Ping'an, and there are no stars, the cost is only 2 million, and it is calculated that it will not replicate the miracle of "Chainsaw 1", but the overall profit will not be bad, and the final global box office will be about 60 million.

Professional media forecasts are 4,000 to 50 million.

But Watzberg's prediction is at least 60 million in North America and 100 million in the world! And it does not include the Chinese region.

As a result, the difference in the prediction of the Human Eradication Plan is 40 million.

But I didn't want to, and suddenly a "Torture Room" with a difference of 55 million suddenly popped up.

The key is not the difference in data, but the exaggerated underestimation of the box office.

The two directors are in charge.

Only 30 million box office?

And not more.

How is this possible?

Nordin said, "Watts, you tell Lu Ping'an, I'm going to raise this time." ”

"How do you add it?"

"If he really wants to be right, the valuation can be directly increased by 100 million."

"100 million? Play house you! If you have the guts, add 500 million! ”

Watts said with a smile.

Nordin also smiled after hearing this: "Okay, good, then 500 million!" And if it's wrong, I don't reduce the valuation, I just want to see how amazing the magical lu really is. ”

Watts was a little stunned.

But he thought about it.

Anyway, in the end, according to the proportional contribution, the impact on Nordin is at most tens of millions to 100 million.

This amount of money is not a problem for Nordin at all.

But the valuation of 500 million yuan is more, but it can make Watts have a long face in front of Lu Ping'an.

So Watts thought about it and agreed directly: "This will follow me, you will see you!" ”

After agreeing, Watzberg thought that it was still wrong, and went directly to the crew of "Batman 2" after leaving the theater.

It's just halfway through that he changed his mind again.

Bet on it, it's a cool word.

He really wants to be cool in front of Nordin, but he also wants to be cool in front of Lu Ping'an.

Over the years, I haven't won a bet with Lu Ping'an.

He felt that he wouldn't tell him this time, and after some time, he wanted to see Lu Ping'an's surprised appearance in person.

With that in mind, Watts turned the driver around and went straight home.

A few days later.

"Torture Room" was released for a week, and although the final box office did not come out, the results were basically determined.

The box office was 5.5 million in one week.

No matter how high the box office is in the future, it will not exceed 30 million, because according to this situation, it will have to be taken off the shelves in two or three weeks.

Nordin was completely dumbfounded, looking at Lu Ping'an like a fairy, and gave a thumbs up: "Professional!" ”

Watzberg was smiling there all the time.

Lu Ping'an's surprised expression just now made him feel good.

Lu Ping'an smiled and signed the contract.

Personal assets have slipped away by nearly $200 million.

No wonder squids are so fond of finance! (End of chapter)
