Chapter 692 Vodka Explodes! 20th Century Fox, why aren't you laughing? Don't you like it?
If we were to say that the box office performance of "Superman 2" is like Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year – getting worse day by day!
Then the box office of "Terminator" will undoubtedly be soaring!
The film only grossed $2900 million on its opening day, but as word of mouth spread, it soared to $3850 million the following day!
That's an increase of nearly ten million!
On the fourth day, it doubled, and the subsequent growth was equally impressive, shocking and astonishing many.
The soaring box office stands in stark contrast to "Superman 2".
The latter's daily box office revenue is now less than $500 million.
At this rate, it's now a pipe dream for "Superman 2" to break the $1 million mark.
However, its investment cost was as high as 1.8 million yuan, which meant that it was destined to lose money, and it would lose a lot of money, so much that it would bleed to death!
There's another important reason why "Superman 2" flopped—
Can you believe that Lois Lane, the female lead, has dark skin?!
It turns out that Hollywood's correct approach to hemorrhoids existed long ago; Disney in later generations simply carried it forward and expanded upon it.
However, today's audiences are far less experienced and well-educated than those of later generations, and they don't have such a good appetite to be indiscriminate in their consumption.
The audience felt incredibly awkward watching the black Louis grinning with his big white teeth on the big screen.
It's like seeing the Little Mermaid scorched by the sun, or Snow White turned into a "charcoal princess".
It's no wonder the box office is so bad under these circumstances!
The executives at 20th Century Fox have completely lost their previous smug and confident demeanor, becoming dejected and silent.
The company was thrown into chaos, and there was a lot of turmoil.
As for the criticism of suppressing "Terminator" and making Takeshi Ono suffer a setback, no one mentions it anymore...
"Superman 2" went from a high-profile release to being slammed by J-pop stars in just a few days. It flopped so quickly that people couldn't keep up.
Those who had initially held high expectations for him were immediately filled with disbelief upon seeing this, and then fell into a silent slumber.
Damn it, this is so disappointing, such a waste of my time!
They were furious with 20th Century Fox and Superman 2 for not living up to expectations!
It's practically lung fog!
You think you can defeat Oni no Takeshi? Get lost! Hate!
With "Superman 2" flopping, 20th Century Fox was preoccupied with its own problems, and without any obstacles, "Terminator" completely let loose.
It's hurtling towards a billion-dollar box office, leaving everyone else in the dust, and it's unstoppable!
It broke multiple box office records and became the hottest movie right now!
Shirley Lansing was beaming with joy. Paramount had made a fortune this time, gaining both fame and wealth!
She was somewhat wary of "Superman 2" beforehand, and was even prepared to be overwhelmed by the other party. However, she did not expect that the other party was all show and no substance, and was defeated before the fight even started!
Shirley Lansing: What kind of lousy bastards dare to try and piggyback on my movie!
Cameron was just as happy as she was; the success of the first film meant the funding for the second was secured.
Shirley Lansing approved it without hesitation.
Here, give me as much as you want!
Even blinking counts as me going through menopause!
Cameron rubs his hands together: ω
……
With the popularity of "Terminator", the characters in it have become a hot topic, and the main actors have all become household names.
And if we're talking about the most popular one, it has to be the T-800.
The cold, powerful, and charismatic Terminator became the most dazzling presence in the entire series, completely overshadowing the male lead.
Although he didn't show many changes in his expression throughout, it only highlighted his tough guy charm!
It became a classic screen image that swept the world, gaining countless fans and admirers!
Therefore, it was no surprise that Vodka, who played the role, also became an overnight sensation!
Its momentum is almost as strong as that of Gin's Hannibal in his early days.
Vodka finally understood Gin's predicament; he found it incredibly difficult to get by outside.
Almost immediately after stepping outside, they were recognized, triggering a series of screams and gasps. Then came the familiar chase and pursuit!
Vodka is even more easily recognized than Gin because of his striking physique; disguise is ineffective against him.
Vodka finally understood what it meant to "stay at home"!
However, compared to Gin's annoyance, he actually somewhat enjoyed this feeling.
The only thing that annoyed Vodka was that while the [Fish Mound Brother Support Club] he had been hoping for had indeed been established, why was there not a single pretty girl in it, only a group of muscular men with well-developed pectoral muscles?!
Stop asking me for fitness secrets all the time!
The "Fish Tomb Brother Support Group" turned into the "Muscle King Fitness Exchange Meeting," bringing Vodka to tears.
Moreover, this state of being in the spotlight did indeed interfere with his regular work and caused considerable impact.
This way, he can't even commit murder and arson normally anymore, no wonder his older brother is so angry.
After the initial novelty wore off, Vodka began to feel troubled. Coupled with his loss of expectations for the "Support Club," he eventually had no choice but to hide in the base, just like Gin, and gradually disappeared.
After searching in vain, fans and bodybuilders could only lament their disappointment.
The Black Organization (scratch that) has finally returned to peace and can now focus on continuing its evil deeds.
Meanwhile, the storm sparked by "The Terminator" continues to rage outside the industry.
The daily box office is rising at a rate that "Superman II" can only dream of.
It barely surpassed $10 billion in global box office before it was taken off the screens!
Successfully joined the billion-dollar club!
Meanwhile, "Superman II" quietly disappeared from theaters, failing to even gross 100 million.
20th Century Fox lost everything.
They didn't have someone like Oni Takeshi to bail them out, and such huge losses plunged the entire company into a financial crisis.
This can be described as a classic case of "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead"!
Those remaining Hollywood figures who were hostile to Takeshi Ono saw the miserable state of 20th Century Fox and immediately became obedient, no longer daring to cause trouble.
This man is too sinister; anyone who gets involved with him is doomed. Don't mess with him!
……
Cheers!
Inside the Hilton Hotel, the Terminator film crew is holding a wrap party.
Oni Takeshi was also present; he had flown in specifically from Japan.
With the Terminator achieving such great success, as the boss, he naturally had to come and show his appreciation.
The atmosphere at the gathering was joyful.
The Terminator was a huge success, bringing both fame and fortune to everyone present.
"It's a pity that Uozuka can't come because of something."
Cameron toasted Oni Takeshi with a glass of wine, then spoke in a regretful tone, with a hint of hidden dissatisfaction.
They dared to skip the celebration banquet, clearly showing them no respect for the director. Anyone who didn't know better would think they had a falling out.
Upon hearing this, Oni Takeshi chuckled inwardly. Vodka would be a fool to even come!
He didn't pay any attention to Cameron's cricket. After all, vodka had made him so much money, he was a truly good horse!
Complaining about crickets wasn't Cameron's original intention in approaching Onitake; his eyes darted around, and he changed the subject...
