America gains both fame and fortune
Chapter 255 Winner Takes All
Chapter 255 Winner Takes All (asking for monthly ticket)
On Friday, just as it was time to get off work, Ted casually tidied up his desk, put on his bag and ran out.
The colleague who liked to share his Coke chased after him and asked: "Are you in such a hurry?"
Ted said, "I worked overtime last night and didn't watch the advance screening. If I don't watch Wanted today, I'm going to explode right here."
A colleague took out a bottle of Coke with Martin's image printed on it and handed it to Ted: "Let's go together."
The elevator was packed with people. Ted checked the time and said, "It's only the sixth floor. Let's take the stairs."
The two turned into the emergency passage and didn't have to go far after going downstairs. This was the commercial district of Manhattan, and there was a cinema a few hundred meters away.
As soon as Ted entered the lobby, he found that there were a lot of people today, and there was a long queue of dozens of people at the ticket office.
His colleagues quickly pulled him in to join them.
There was another long line nearby, and several girls came at the same time. One of them, the one with dark brown hair, asked, "What are we looking at?"
The blonde girl said, "Look at the handsome guy!" She pointed to the wanted poster and said, "Handsome guy and pretty girl, I'll choose this one!"
The shortest girl continued, "Wanted? I remember reading the reviews. They were all positive. The internet and newspapers all said it was a good movie."
A boy nearby said, "Yes! This movie is great, and it has a very good reputation."
Although the girls didn't say anything, they decided to buy tickets for the movie.
What's more, there are promotions.
For every video, a small bottle of Coca-Cola is given.
This also affects the choices of some people.
A large poster hung in the theater reads: "Look at Wanted, Martin Davis invites you to drink Coca-Cola!"
After buying the ticket, Ted took the free Coke and raised it towards Martin's poster.
My colleague said: "I wish the world had Coca-Cola."
Meanwhile, in Atlanta, an AMC theater near the Northville community.
Elena, Lily, and Hall entered the screening room together.
They arrived a little late because they had to wait for Hall to finish his homework.
The theater was quite full, so I could only choose a seat towards the back.
Hall opened the Coke and drank it in one gulp, then his eyes fixed on the Coke in his sisters' hands.
Elena threw him a bottle: “If you don’t want to become fat, drink less.”
Lily didn't say anything, but concentrated on counting the heads.
Listening to the young lady mumbling something, Hall asked, "What are you doing?"
"Don't bother me, you idiot!" Lily was almost interrupted. She followed the Carter family's fine tradition, raised her fist to intimidate Hall, and continued counting heads.
I counted a dozen more heads, and when the film was about to start, dozens of people came rumbling in from outside.
These people were wearing the same red T-shirts, and were obviously members of the Coca Cola Cult.
Lily's rhythm was disrupted, so she simply stopped counting, pursed her lips, and thought to herself, I want to be a saint!
Hall gloated: "It's too much to count!"
Lily raised her fist and pounded it on Hall's head, just like her sister had done to her: "Idiot, shut your stinky mouth!"
Hall's face was full of sadness, but he had been suppressed since he was a child and there was nothing he could do except shut up.
Elena said at this time: “No need to count, looking at the attendance rate of this theater, the box office will definitely not be bad.”
"It will be a big hit!" Lily clasped her hands together and said, "It must be a big hit!"
Elena took Lily's bottle of Coke, opened it and took a sip. She was much calmer than Lily. This movie will definitely be a big hit.
On Friday, as a large number of audiences entered the theaters to watch the movie and the number of people who rated it reached the requirement, the IMDB rating of Wanted was officially unblocked, with the average user rating reaching 8.2 points.
As for how much of it is operational, even the outsourced water army companies cannot tell clearly.
In terms of audience scores for CS cinemas that directly face the first-tier market, Wanted received an overall rating of A!
This means that the film has a good commercial index.
…………
Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.
The Saturday sun had just risen when Blake, wearing shorts, a T-shirt and flip-flops, went outside, opened the mailbox, took out 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 on it, swung her long legs, walked quickly along the sidewalk beside the swimming pool towards the villa.
As soon as he entered the door, before he saw Martin, Blake shouted excitedly: "Wanted posters are selling well! Honey, wanted posters are selling well!"
Martin walked into the dining room from the kitchen carrying a porcelain plate, and the person cooking behind him was Bruce.
After frying the eggs, Lao Bu turned around and asked, "Did the first day box office exceed 20 million?"
Martin looked at Blake expectantly.
The latter nodded repeatedly and smiled, his face looking like a real 2167-year-old: " million US dollars! The No. box office chart yesterday!" "What good news!" Martin put down the plate and walked towards the wine cabinet: "We must have a drink to celebrate!"
Blake had been wanting to drink for a long time: "We must have a toast to celebrate!"
Martin poured three glasses of champagne, waited for Bruce to take off his apron and come over, and said, "Guys, cheers to our success!"
Blake leaned over and kissed Martin first, then clinked glasses with Martin: "Congratulations, dear!"
She clinked glasses with Old Bu again, and the three of them drank together.
After drinking, Blake became a little excited. He put down his glass and newspaper, jumped directly onto Martin, and took the initiative to ask for a kiss.
Bruce was dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, have some civility and principles, don't feed people dog food for breakfast."
Martin carried Blake to the chair and said, "Let's eat, and then we'll go out and have fun together."
This weekend, his promotional mission is to take Blake to various crowded places in Los Angeles.
Blake’s new film has also been officially approved and needs a lot of exposure.
After breakfast, the two got into the Escalade driven by Bruce and headed straight to Rodeo Drive to go shopping.
Bruce didn't need to make a special phone call, a group of paparazzi followed him automatically.
Martin was used to it and didn't care.
Blake seems to be born to live under the spotlight. The more paparazzi there are, the more excited she becomes, and she frequently shows off the love between her female fans and her idol.
At the street corner, paparazzi Jodi couldn't help spitting after taking the photo of Blake feeding Martin ice cream mouth-to-mouth.
"Those who don't know how to restrain themselves will surely die once the honeymoon period is over!" She was fed so much today that she wanted to vomit: "Which celebrity who hypes up love and marriage can have a peaceful ending?"
Another paparazzi nearby couldn't stand it and said, "How sweet they are now, how hateful they will be when they fall out in the future. I wish them to go from lovers to enemies!"
Several paparazzi chimed in: "I wish you all the best too!"
“Let’s bless them together!”
Across the road, Martin seemed to have noticed something. He turned around and waved warmly and friendly to the paparazzi, then turned back and kissed Blake, and there was another round of passionate entanglement.
The Wanted poster is selling well, and he is holding a beautiful young girl. How can he justify the paparazzi and entertainment reporters' jobs if he doesn't show it off?
This is a game of fame and fortune where the winner takes all!
The paparazzi cursed the couple secretly, but their hands were faithfully raised with their cameras to take pictures of the handsome man and beautiful woman.
Martin's cell phone rang at this time, and when he answered it was Sophia.
The female King Kong’s words were particularly direct: “Have we succeeded again?”
Martin said: "It is impossible for the first week in North America to be less than 5000 million US dollars!"
Sophia laughed: "It's a new record! So, I want to celebrate."
Martin asked, "How are you going to celebrate?"
Sophia said, "That old man Nicholson is pretty good. Do me a favor and ask him out. I'll treat him to a drink."
Martin could roughly guess what she was going to do. Considering the safety of people's lives, he reminded her: "The old man is almost seventy years old. Someone could die!"
He didn't give Sophia a chance to make another request: "I have something urgent to do here, let's talk another day."
In the hotel, Sophia heard the busy tone on the phone, but she was not angry.
She is in a good mood today because the wanted poster for her investment is selling like hot cakes!
After working hard for so many years, Sofia has seen very clearly that nothing is more real than money.
Scott walked over with his legs apart and asked, "Isn't the old man coming?"
"For Martin's sake, let him go." Sophia stopped thinking about these things and dialed the number in Atlanta: "Vincent, it's me. Have you seen the latest box office statistics? Martin's movie is a big hit again. What do you think?"
Vincent didn't even think about it and said directly: "Of course we should 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 thriller, suspense and action type, similar to The Wanted."
Vincent added: "It has been proven that Martin is trustworthy and worthy of investment. You just make the decision over there."
"Okay, then continue to invest in the new film project starring Martin." After Sophia hung up the phone, she felt better and better and especially wanted to exercise.
She walked towards the fitness room that came with the suite and glanced back at Scott: “Come on.”
Scott followed obediently, he was used to what was going to happen next.
Apart from having to endure a bit, Sofia took care of everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, and also gave him no less than five-digit pocket money every month. For someone of his age, who doesn't have any special skills, where can he find such a job?
More than a year ago, Scott chose to lie flat, and he found it extremely comfortable, and could occasionally buy gifts for his children.
Compared to his wife Emma, who ran away and disappeared with someone unknown, Scott thinks he is a pretty good father.
Soon, a man's cry came from the gym, not in pain, but with pleasure.
On Friday, the R-rating of "Wanted" could not stop the enthusiasm of North American audiences. The film took home $2167 million, surpassing "Jarhead" directed by Sam Mendes and won the North American box office championship of the day.
On Saturday, the day off, the film's attendance increased slightly, earning another 2421 million US dollars in North America!
"Jarhead" and "Chicken Little" which were released at the same time were all firmly suppressed by Wanted and could not turn around and surpass it.
Although the box office of all released movies declined by Sunday, Wanted still led the way and eventually won the first North American box office championship in November with a box office of 6855 million US dollars!
This also created a new high in Martin and Julie's acting career.
The third update is here, please give me your monthly vote!
