On August 8, 2008, the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games was held at the Bird's Nest National Stadium in Beijing.

The halo illuminates the ancient sundial, 2,008 actors sing and sing, the long scroll of Chinese history slowly opens, and the Olympic flame is lit for the first time in this oriental country.

At the moment of the opening ceremony, almost every Chinese person sat in front of the screen and watched the grand event in the capital.

They may still be students studying hard, hard-working farmers, sweaty workers, white-collar workers in busy workplaces, and soldiers guarding the frontier during the day, but at this moment, they are all excited Chinese people.

In the face of this once-in-a-lifetime event, although the filming of "Star You" has not yet been completed, Sun Yi still gave the whole crew a half-day off, and everyone gathered together to watch the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the evening.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

Watching the Olympic flame light up in the sky above the Bird's Nest, Liu Yifei couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Feeling this shocking scene again, Sun Yi's heart could not hide his excitement.

Not to mention anything else, just this opening ceremony, Lao Mouzi can definitely afford it as a national teacher.

"Do you feel any regrets?"

"What's the regret?"

"You are one of the ambassadors of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and the Smile China 2008, don't you feel sorry that you didn't come to the opening ceremony?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly at Sun Yi.

"Isn't this watching with you, as long as I'm with you, I have no regrets."

Ooh.

Xiao Nizi's sudden love words caught Sun Yi off guard.

looked at Liu Yifei's eyes as bright as stars, and didn't say anything for a while.

"See what?"

"It's up to you."

"What do you see me doing?"

Faced with Xiao Nizi's question, Sun Yi decided to pay back.

"I like you, so I look at you."

Liu Yifei glanced at him with some disgust, and then pretended to turn her head and continue to look at the screen, but the corners of her mouth still unconsciously hooked an arc, revealing a pair of shallow pear vortices.

And under the seat that no one else noticed, the hands of the two had already been tightly clasped together.

With the end of the opening ceremony, the crew once again caught up with the filming schedule, and the communication that Sister Yu said has not yet yielded results, and Sun Yi can't pin all his hopes on this, and the first priority is to complete the filming at the moment.

As for the TV station, Yang Fan is also constantly following up, and Sichuan Shu Satellite TV has not fallen behind.

And during this time, on the American side, the screening of "Shelter" is also continuing.

On Wednesday, the average attendance was 42 and the total box office was $49,330.

On Thursday, the average attendance was 48, and the total box office was $56,160 in a single day.

In the first three days of screening, "Shelter" grossed a total of $147,610 in 30 theaters and $1,640 in a single theater.

Because it is a weekday, the daily increase is not very large.

However, word-of-mouth has not declined, and the A+ rating rate remains at about 55%.

With the arrival of Friday, the North American film market has reached the busiest time of the week, and the weekly movie list in North America is also determined by the weekend box office numbers of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which is also the time period that best reflects the potential and competitiveness of a movie.

Jenny, who is the ticket seller at an Imperial Cinema in Houston, had a bad luck this week, as it was her turn to work on the weekend, and the workload on three days of the weekend was often several times that of the previous weekday.

"Three copies of The Dark Knight, thank you."

Jenny took the money handed by the other party, skillfully billed and changed, "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" has been released for the fourth week, but there are still many viewers who come to see Lord Bruce Wayne and the Joker, which is also the best movie sold in theaters this week.

"A copy of "Shelter", thank you."

"Two Mamma Mia, please, thank you."

"Two copies of "Shelter", thank you."

The clock was turning little by little, and the hour hand pointed to 8 o'clock in the evening, and Jenny was busy all the time, when suddenly, a group of people who looked like college students appeared in the window in front of her.

"Hello, please bring me five, oh no, six copies of Vault."

"Okay."

Jenny took the bill as before, but when she opened it, she was stunned.

Not enough!

"Shelter" is out of tickets!

Since 6 o'clock, she has been busy, constantly issuing invoices, looking for money, and not paying attention at all.

Unexpectedly, in just two hours, the tickets for the movie "Shelter" were sold out.

Jenny couldn't believe it, knowing that this was just a movie.

She double-checked the movie screenings.

There really isn't any.

Because "Shelter" is a screening movie, the theater arranges the smallest screening hall, and the number of screenings is not so full.

"Sorry, today's tickets are sold out."

"Oh no, there's no midnight show, we can wait."

"I'm very sorry, this movie is being screened, and there is no midnight screening, 10 o'clock is the last one, and there are no seats left."

"Then let's come tomorrow."

"This one does."

The college student took the ticket and complained to his companions as he left the window.

"Damn it, guys, there's no seat left tonight."

"We should have come yesterday, Billy is a very well-known film critic, there will be a lot of people who see his posts on the Internet, he gave this film four and a half stars, this is the movie he scored the highest score this year except for "The Dark Knight", I am a little anxious, what kind of movie can make him give such a high score, I heard that the heroine is still Asian."

"Not only the heroine, but the director is also Asian, forget it, I'll know tomorrow."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

After "Shelter" fermented for several days, the explosive audience word-of-mouth finally played a role, and many fans who had watched it began to comfort each other, especially some independent film critics began to post film reviews about the movie on their personal homepages, and with a high score, the film's good reputation began to spread rapidly on the Internet.

On Friday night, from Los Angeles to Seattle, from New York to Houston, the number of single-show attendances in 30 theaters ushered in an explosion, and many people even came to the theaters in groups to watch "Shelter".

By Monday morning, the situation had been reported to Winestein Films.

"The single-day box office on Friday was $102,330, and the single-hall box office was $3,411, which directly doubled, and the film's A+ score still did not fall below 50%."

These are placed in Harvey. The data on Wienstein's desk is the best proof of the market potential of "Shelter"!

Originally, he still thought that he would release this movie according to the general standards and make a profit, but now it seems that this is completely tyrannical, and it is the same as not treating money as money.

This time, he said that he had to mobilize all his resources and connections to play a stud on Sun Yi's movie, and once again let Harvey. The name Wienstein appeared on the front page of Hollywood.

A moment later, Harvey made a decision, but then he thought about it again.

All of this is planned to lack a key central figure.

That is the director of the movie, Sun Yi.

Thinking of Sun Yi, Harvey couldn't help laughing at himself.

At the beginning, he also regarded Sun Yi as a big Kaizi from Huaxia who was stupid and had a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, this young man turned out to be a raptor crossing the river, taking advantage of the contradiction between Disney and him behind John, signing a competitive contract in advance, and using the profits from the movie as bait to hang the two of them.

The most important thing is that this young man has succeeded in the movie, and the screening report in front of him speaks for itself.

At this moment, he inevitably had some appreciation for Sun Yi in his heart.

Have the means, the ability, and most importantly, know how to share.

It seems that with such a partner, the probability of achieving his ambitions will be greatly increased.

At that moment, I dialed the transatlantic phone.

"Oh, dear Sun, I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you and your girlfriend, Miss Crystal, to the United States again?"

Sorry, it was too late.
