Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

After dinner, Portia and Gaia found a movie theater.

After getting out of the car, Portia saw Gaia put a hood on her head and a peaked cap.

Seeing Gaia's behavior, Portia snickered secretly.

Gaia's move looks like a big star going out in public.

Doesn’t she think she is a big star?

Of course, Portia didn't point it out.

However, before entering the cinema, Portia suddenly saw the trailer of "Kidnapping" playing on the big screen at the entrance of the movie.

And in the trailer, she happened to see a figure.

There is only a few seconds of footage, but the figure's appearance is full of power.

Gaia? Portia opened her mouth wide and looked at the big screen in astonishment.

Although the scene has passed, Portia could not calm down for a long time.

That's Gaia, right? That shot just now was of Gaia, right?

Gaia appeared and landed directly on the roof of the kidnapped person's car, and then killed the two bodyguards in a cruel and ferocious way. Then she grabbed Steven's actor by the neck with one hand and lifted him up in the air. He also chanted One line: Good evening, great director.

The movie Gaia stars in is "Kidnapping"?

She is also the action director of "Kidnapping"?

Portia's face was filled with shock.

How can this be?

Gaia actually plays a very important role in such a heavyweight movie.

No wonder...no wonder Gaia wears a peaked cap.

Throughout the entire movie, Portia was in shock.

The movie is very exciting. From the perspective of an amateur audience like Portia, this is a perfect commercial movie.

Gaia's role is very important, and she is the only one in the movie who has tortured the three main characters.

At the same time, he is also the top thug of the villain. Every time he takes action, he is full of explosive visual impact and even an ultimate sense of power and beauty.

In "Kidnapped", the three main protagonists are two old men who play Rasfa and Steven, and a Chinese bodyguard.

The characters of the two old actors are very cute. They are old friends and have many years of feud, and they compete with each other.

Although Gaia is the anti-number 3, due to the emphasis on character setting and editing, Gaia has a tendency to be the anti-number 1. Her role positioning and strength positioning are both very important.

He defeated the bodyguard at the beginning, had a fierce battle with the bodyguard in the middle, and finally the bodyguard defeated Gaia in an explosion.

All three conflicts left a lasting impression on the audience.

Until after the movie, Portia and Gaia went home respectively, Portia was in shock.

On Sunday morning, Portia unconsciously checked yesterday's box office rankings again.

Of course, "Kidnapped" is rock solid, with a very solid box office, still at $130 million.

The two-day box office, plus advance screenings, has reached a box office of 360 million US dollars.

If today's box office continues to exceed $100 million, "Kidnapped"'s opening weekend box office will likely double its original opening weekend box office record.

At present, overseas box office statistics have not yet been announced.

Statistics will not be carried out until tomorrow working day.

Now all of Hollywood is waiting for overseas box office and North American box office statistics.

On Monday, all North American box office and global box office statistics were released.

"Kidnapped" undoubtedly dominates the North American single-week box office, with US$81 million in advance, US$150 million on the first day of release, US$130 million on Saturday, and US$120 million on the weekend. $481 million.

It's close to doubling the previous opening weekend record of $250 million for Star Wars.

The global box office is even more crazy. Excluding North America, the cumulative global box office in the first weekend reached 650 million US dollars. China, as the largest box office outside North America, also performed well, with a first weekend box office of 2.2 billion RMB. Converted to U.S. dollars, that's equivalent to $330 million.

North American and global box office grosses reached US$1.131 billion.

Crazy, the whole of Hollywood is crazy, the global box office exceeded 1.1 billion US dollars in the first weekend.

Is there anything crazier than this?

But such a crazy thing happened just last weekend.

Steven not only defended his dignity as the world's greatest director.

He is also recognized and recognized.

Wang He became famous overnight.

Although he was somewhat famous in China before.

But it's completely different from now.

Before, he was only considered a new generation actor and a second-tier star in China.

But now, he is likely to become the global box office record holder.

The crew has also started a promotional tour in China with Wang He.

In the Chinese region, Wang He is of course the protagonist, and his promotion priority is even higher than that of Steven.

After all, Huaxia is Wang He's home court, and the audience in Huaxia recognizes Wang He much more than others.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

Wang He’s domestic publicity can be as high-profile as it needs to be.

The Chinese media also tried their best to praise Wang He and regard him as the new king of the new generation of Chinese entertainment industry.

…

On Wednesday, Steven suddenly came to Mingyue Villa, and his assistant and bodyguards delivered all the packages to Mingyue Villa.

"Steven, aren't you running for promotion? Have you finished the promotion in Asia? How is that possible? I remember you arrived in China just the day before yesterday. Even if you are superman, you can't complete all the promotion points in Asia, right?"

"I had no choice, so I ran away to two cities in China and escaped back overnight." Steven's face was full of fatigue.

But under Steven's tired face, there was still a bit of excitement.

"Why? Are you sick? I don't see what's wrong with you."

"I'm not sick, I just came to hide here for a few days." Steven said helplessly: "Do you know how many investors have come to your door since I arrived in China? After leaving China, I went directly back to Los Angeles. , but the door to my house was already blocked by reporters, and there were many investors blocking the door of my house. I felt like the whole world had gone crazy."

"Then let me destroy the lucky gold coins for you, so you won't have this trouble."

"Get lost." Steven rolled his eyes.

He is completely troubled by happiness, and only a fool would not want it.

"What will the final box office of our movie be? Can the global box office exceed three billion US dollars?"

"It can definitely be done with three billion US dollars, but now we have to see whether it can exceed four billion US dollars."

"Then how much money will the three of us get in the end?"

"The box office in North America, excluding the commissions from theaters and distributors, can be divided into about half. The share of the global box office is more complicated. The share ratio is different in each region. The specific calculation needs to be done. However, our original There will definitely be a profit of ten times the investment." Steven said: "Chen, let's work together on the next movie."

"Let's talk about it later. If you make foreign-funded movies like this again, you will become the public enemy of all Hollywood."
