Hello 1983
Page 658
Liu Qingshan is really looking forward to that day.
After finishing the calculation, Liu Qingshan just came out of the shop when he met a group of people who were about to enter the restaurant.
When the two sides met each other, they were both stunned. It was Young Master Li and his group.
In addition, there is another guy Liu Qingshan knows: Wang Lie.
Now that Wang Lie is the president of the family computer company, he is proud of himself. Even if he encounters some difficulties temporarily, Wang Lie doesn't take it to heart at all.
His family is very well-connected in the Chinese circle here, and has many connections with Hong Kong Island. As the host, it is natural to entertain Young Master Li and others.
Moreover, these people have similar family backgrounds, so it is normal for them to mix together.
"Brother Qingshan, why are you alone, why don't you drink in the bar alone?"
First Young Master Li is now full of ambitions. When he came here and felt the public opinion environment, he felt that his chances of winning were greater.
Because the media here also unanimously bad-mouthed the new movie of Hurricane Film and Television.
Many professionals have published articles in the newspapers, saying that it is not bad to pay back their books.
Liu Qingshan didn't argue with them, just nodded with a smile, and left straight away. There was a burst of wanton laughter behind him.
Wang Lie looked at Liu Qingshan's back, his eyes were full of disdain:
"This kind of jumping beam clown can't jump around for a few days. Everyone, please, let's get drunk today and wait for the good news of victory."
Liu Qingshan was also looking forward to the good news of victory. Two days later, "Home Alone" was officially released.
……
July 7, the tenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, should be opened for business.
After dinner, Liu Qingshan set off from the apartment to a well-known theater in Los Angeles.
Grace drove the car, and there were Liu Qingshan and Liu Yinfeng in the car, as well as Du Jiaxing who was in high spirits.
As for the premiere or something, there was none at all.
I parked the car at the place, and waited at the door for a while, and the people we agreed with arrived one after another.
Chambers from Hurricane Films even came with CAA President Ovitz.
Ovitz is now a big shot, holding nearly half of the big stars in the country, but he is still very polite to Liu Qingshan, because the status of both parties is equal.
"Liu, nice to meet you, I wish you can achieve that little goal."
After the hug, Ovitz also made a joke with Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan was also very helpless, those media were too unscrupulous, and they were just trying to hype up the small goal of [-] million US dollars for him.
So Liu Qingshan also smiled and said: "Mr. Ovitz, this is also your small goal, isn't it?"
The two looked at each other and laughed. Although they also made a bet, it was a win-win game. The higher the box office, the more powerful it would be for both parties.
So at this point, only when they have the same interest relationship can they come together.
Hurricane Film and Television really came to a lot of people, like the Hurricane Girls foursome, they were also present.
There is also Xiao Li, who also leads Boss Huo, Pan Mingpai and others. These guys are a bit like-minded, laughing and laughing together, and even bought a lot of popcorn, and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Jia Kui and the other four boys were also present, but their faces were a little dignified, apparently worried about Liu Qingshan.
As for Lao Cui and Sister Zhang, because the Olympic Games is coming soon, they all went to South Korea. It is estimated that there are some rehearsals.
Basically, there were only these people, and they entered the theater together. Chambers asked the employees to buy movie tickets, and said with a smile, "We also want to make some contributions to the box office."
"Mr. Ovitz, isn't this a violation?"
The fare is okay, $[-] for adults and half for children.
This kind of price should be considered relatively cheap. The theaters in the United States are more developed, so relatively speaking, movie tickets are not expensive.
When we came to the No. [-] screening hall together, these people didn't go to the boxes or anything, they just took the most ordinary seats, and they were the most ordinary audience.
When the movie started to show, the situation was not very optimistic, because the attendance rate was only [-] to [-]%, and most of the seats were empty.
Liu Qingshan observed more carefully. The audience present are basically two adults leading one or two children.
In fact, this is the advantage of children's movies. One child usually has to be delivered to two adults.
During the film screening, the happy laughter of children can be heard from time to time in the theater.
Especially when the little protagonist is fighting the stupid thief, the plot is very interesting, and the children laugh happily.
Just like Du Jiaxing, he prepared a big bucket of popcorn, only to find out after the movie was over that he even forgot to eat the popcorn.
"Brother Biao, it's so fun. This is the best movie I've ever seen. I called my classmates when I got home. These guys don't give me face and don't watch the movie."
Du Jiaxing's little face was flushed with excitement, and he kept talking there.
Liu Qingshan found an interesting phenomenon, the movie was over, but the kids were reluctant to leave, they got together in small groups, making gestures and discussing the plot of the movie.
Du Jiaxing also leaned forward: "Guys, don't you want to buy a pinball gun too, pop, pop, pop!"
He gestured for a pistol with his hand, and faced a little boy with some freckles on his face, who was still lying on a chair in a cooperative manner, with his legs straight.
"I think the idea of the flower pot falling from the sky is better, I want to go home and try it." Another little black boy said.
A little girl like a doll also waved her arms excitedly: "I think it's most interesting to sprinkle water on the stairs to freeze them into ice, but unfortunately, we rarely freeze in winter here."
A group of little ones are discussing happily here, but the adults next to them are starting to have a headache. What if the house is messed up?
"Children, haven't you learned to be brave after watching this movie?"
Grace leaned forward, squatted down, and looked at these little guys.
Du Jiaxing immediately clenched his fists and said a line from the movie: "Yes, they can't hit me in my house, because this is my home!"
The little black boy also blinked his black and white eyes: "I, from today on, I will never ask my mother to accompany me when I go to the bathroom at night."
Grace also shook her small fist: "Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of in the dark. As long as you have the courage to take the first step, no matter how difficult you encounter later, you will not be afraid."
Immediately afterwards, these little ones began to compete one by one for being braver. It sounded like a bit of bragging, childish and funny.
Grace also turned into a task, stood up and walked back, and gestured an OK gesture to Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan blinked: Do you also pay attention to ideological education here?
"Children, the next game is about to begin." A staff member came to clear the room.
In the end, there were really more than a dozen little guys who had to buy a ticket to watch it again, so a second brush came directly.
Du Jiaxing hadn't watched it enough yet, and didn't want to leave, but in the end he was resisted by Liu Qingshan.
The little black boy and the little girl followed suit and were carried out of the screening hall by their parents.
Click, click, a flash was on, and this photo appeared in the next day's newspaper with the title: Disobedient kid.
And in the newspapers, all kinds of news and comments are flying all over the sky:
Many film critics criticized this film as useless.
Liu Qingshan didn't bother to talk to this kind of expert: Okay, it's not adults who have the final say, but children who have the final say.
Some people even criticized: This kind of movie will teach children badly.
However, when a little black boy was interviewed, he said that he drove someone to the toilet at night, and the sound disappeared.
At this time, because the technology is relatively backward, it was not until three days later that the box office of the first day was counted: a little more than 56 US dollars.
And an eye-catching headline immediately appeared on the Los Angeles Times: "How far is the ridiculous kid from the small goal of [-] million dollars?".
Chapter 7 and one, a small goal of [-] million!
"Hahaha!" In the luxury hotel where Young Master Li and others stayed, hearty laughter broke out.
Manager Zheng of Zhou's Jewelry even opened a bottle of red wine excitedly: "Come here, let's toast our victory!"
Young Master Li's cheeks also flushed with excitement: "Let's not be too happy, after all, it's just started."
"Brother Li, don't worry, they will never stand up again this time."
"That's right, how we lost in the past, we won it this time, and we won it twice!"
Everyone in this group is overjoyed. With this kind of first-day box office, it is estimated that it will be released for about a week before it will be offline.
At that time, the box office will only be in the millions, so of course they will win.
At the same time, Hurricane Film and Television Company, after getting the box office on the first day, the company's atmosphere suddenly became extremely depressing.
This box office is roughly the same as the first-day box office of the Dolphin Girl film they filmed last year.
As for that movie, the final box office was more than 500 million.
"How could this be?"
Chambers felt his head buzzing. It was obvious that the audience responded very well, and those children liked to watch it very much.
Thinking of the possibility of paying nearly $[-] million to CAA, Chambers has the urge to jump off the building now.
"It seems that our company is going to go bankrupt."
Lucy from Hurricane Girl spread her hands towards Maria.
Lucy knew very well that if the company went bankrupt and Maria would definitely fly solo, Hurricane Girl would definitely be disbanded.
The other two girls also covered their faces and sobbed softly.
"No, we won't admit defeat, I'm going to write a song, we're going to sing, and we're going to pay off the company's debt!"
On the contrary, Maria was aroused to refuse to admit defeat. This stubborn girl will not be easily defeated.
Even Xiao Li, who was always optimistic, couldn't sit still anymore, and rushed to Liu Qingshan's rented apartment:
"Liu, I think we should do something."
Boss Huo also came with him, and he also had a serious face: "Qingshan, can I buy box office or something like that here?"
Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry: "You should go to the cinema to see it, instead of just staring at the lagging box office and the media that is playing around with the wind."
Makes sense!
Xiao Li and the others left in a hurry, and then drove to several theaters.
Seeing the entrance of the theater, many adults led their children in and out, and finally these few felt more at ease.
On the second day, that is, the fourth day of the movie screening, the box office of the next day was finally released.
"Look how much, haha, it's still more than 50, okay, okay, it's stable now!"
Manager Zheng looked at the numbers above, and immediately had the urge to open the red wine again.
Young Master Li also took the paper sheet and looked at it. It was indeed the number five, but he still felt that something was wrong. He counted it carefully, and immediately exclaimed:
"More than 500 million?"
Several other people gathered around and counted them carefully, and sure enough, the box office of tens of 540 million has been squeezed into the top ten of the day.
"Could it be that the statistics are wrong?" Young Master Li murmured.
But he knew in his heart that the statistics would definitely not be wrong.
Others also have a bad feeling: Compared with the box office of the first day, it is a leap, what does this indicate?
Young Master Li forced himself to be calm: "Let's see tomorrow..."
At the same time, in the headquarters of Hurricane Film and Television, there was joy.
The employees who had secretly packed their things yesterday started working again.
Chambers immediately called Liu Qingshan: "Boss, we have seen the dawn!"
After seeing the data, CAA's President Ovitz also smiled slightly: "This kid is quite naughty."
The one who couldn't hold back was Xiao Li, who went to Liu Qingshan's apartment again and had to drag Liu Qingshan out to celebrate, and asked Liu Qingshan to be kicked out immediately:
"If you don't leave, I will tell you to try the power of the pinball gun."
Not to mention, the children's toy pinball guns in the market suddenly became very popular, and they were sold out in almost three days.
The wind in the newspapers, as Liu Qingshan expected, began to have some changes, and there were fewer and fewer bad-mouthings.
Only the Los Angeles Times still used yesterday's headline: The ridiculous little ghost is still 400 million short of the small goal of [-] million US dollars at the box office.
But when the box office came out on the third day, the headline of the newspaper became:
