PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
At noon, in the "Daily Daily" newspaper office, many cooks were busy cooking.

Everyone in the entertainment news section ate their meals while making phone calls.In the Yuji industry, if you want to do well, you have to be fluent in all aspects. One person's energy is limited, which requires countless eyeliners, and everyone is a paparazzi.

"Pigskin, it's Friday today, have a drink tonight? I heard a bartender in Lan Kwai Fong say that recently many Xiao Kais are dating TVB and ATV starlets..." A colleague glanced at the calendar board on the table , January 1991, 1, happened to be Friday.

"Okay, the dull ones are going to smell like birds recently."

Pigskin was bored to deal with it, and the typewriter was beating the manuscript of "Chasing the Wind and Shadow".

Paparazzi spend their days chasing news or fabricating news.Every day, excluding some exclusive gossip they follow, the team will also assign them some tasks based on various things.

Celebrities need popularity, and they will cooperate with their hype, and even pay out of their own pockets to fight for the page, with a variety of tricks.Therefore, the news on the entertainment news should be regarded as entertainment.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to follow a wave of big melons and get the first wave of bonuses, then congratulations, you have received your half-year year-end bonus.This profession must be sensitive, so informants will also be cultivated.

For example, if someone proves that a certain star or competitor has something to do recently, they will actively follow up with it for a period of time.For example, it was rumored that Li Ming and Chen Songling fell in love because of a drama, and Stellar Entertainment spent money on public relations for this matter.

Idol stars cannot have their romances exposed.

But these [-]-year-olds have nothing wrong with their bodies or their minds. They are still in such a circle with the highest proportion of handsome men and beautiful women and hormonal jumps. Is it true that all of them really eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha only in manual mode?
how can that be possible?
Everything that is not exposed with a stone hammer is either because he is a capable person himself, or there are capable people behind him.In short, at such an age when you can lift up the sky or hold pearls in your clams, who can really not think about those?At this age, the masters have clearly given the answer in their diaries.

thump thump thump.

Suddenly, someone in the mail room ran upstairs panting.All of a sudden, the gulls were startled——

Everyone put down their work in an instant.

Looking at the excited looks in the mailroom, it's obviously big news!

"Hurry up, everyone come in for a meeting!"

Before they could inquire about each other, the editor-in-chief of the department called everyone for a meeting.

"Hurry up and take out the information that Dongying sent over from the company two days ago, I know it's useful, find it... By the way, who took the latest photos with Director Wu a few days ago? Print it out as soon as possible."

"Pigskin!"

"coming!"

Everyone cheered up, and when they saw the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper appearing in the department, everyone understood—there was big news! ! !

At the same time, an idea also popped up: Tomato, it seems that I have to stay up late and work overtime to catch up on the draft!

Big news indeed!

It even overwhelmed the overwhelming publicity roadshows of "The Gambler 2", "Across the World" and "91 Happy Events".

"Seven Sins" broke $1500 million at the North American box office! ! !
Don't tui!

On the box office list in North America last year, this can be ranked in the top [-] box office.

This film also became the first work of Wu Xiaozu, an international director, to break the box office of tens of millions of dollars in North America. This achievement shocked many North American independent film circles.

The box office of "Seven Sins" also broke the box office record of foreign language films in North America.

Yes.

1500 million is enough to dominate the box office performance of foreign language films in North America.

Before it, the North American box office record holder for a foreign language film was the Italian masterpiece "Paradise Cinema", which was just released last year and created a box office of 1199 million US dollars, a film that is enough to be recorded in history.

The previous record holder for a foreign-language film in North America was the German R-rated film "From the Sea of ​​the Sea" in 1982.

"Seven Sins" is also rated R in North America.

This news was fermented through the media in North America, which shocked many filmmakers in North America.

Newspapers such as "Los Angeles Times" and "Washington Post" all gave this "suspense movie" a high evaluation.

The skyrocketing box office of this film is due to the fact that Harvey Weinstein took advantage of the trend of the North American awards season and the aura of Oscar nominations after New Year's Day to win the cooperation of several distribution companies and sign corresponding screening agreements.

This movie, which was sold well in North America in the previous life, has finally begun to be screened on a large scale in North America, and the number of screens has reached an astonishing 900 pieces.

That's amazing enough for a foreign language film.

Similarly, in the very exclusive North American market, foreign language films have always been a minority among the minority, with an extremely low market share, and they are not popular at all.This time, the series of advances in the public relations road of "Seven Sins" have indeed attracted the attention of many North American audiences to this internationally acclaimed film.

In the past life, the situation of foreign language films in North America can be said to be very bad.

外语片在北美最高票房记录保持者是李胺的《卧虎藏龙》，1亿2800万。老谋子的《英雄》5370万排在第三位。历年外语片北美票房排行榜top50中，法兰西占10部，华语电影紧随其后占据9个席位。

"Parasite", which later swept the entire Oscar, successfully squeezed out the Mexican film "Pan's Labyrinth", ranking fifth with 3940.

By the way, "Farewell My Concubine", the old version of Xiao Si Kai's legendary work, has a box office of only 520 million in North America, ranking 50th.

It can only be said that cultural differences have kept foreign language films from being valued in North America.

The brain circuit of the people of the free country is fundamentally different from the way we Chinese think.

Therefore, in 1991, "Seven Sins" achieved a score of 1500 million US dollars, which really stood out from the crowd!There is even a kind of rush that stands out from the crowd...Of course, this is compared with foreign language films. After all, North America has always been the graveyard of foreign language films, just like Japan is the graveyard of Chaoying.

When this news spread to Hong Kong Island, it directly blasted the entire Hong Kong circle!

According to the "Daily Daily" report, "Seven Sins" is still in the release stage, and the box office of 2000 million is just around the corner.Even after the Oscars, if there is good news, the box office may be even higher.

There is no need to consider whether it is not higher or not.

1991年1月18日美元兑换港币的汇率开盘价是7.7965，收盘价是7.7970，哪怕按照开盘价换算，《七罪宗》也拿下了1亿1690万港币的成绩了！！！
This number directly made the scalps of many colleagues in the film company go numb when they heard the news!

At the next moment, what many people thought in their minds was: the box office exceeded [-] million! !How much does this TM make? ? ?

No time for many to think about it.

"Daily Daily" once again released a 'Little Boy' on Hong Kong Island!
""Seven Sins" raked in more than 20 billion yen in Japan in just half a month, outshining the others and dominating the market in Japan!!! The best box office of a Hong Kong film in Japan!"

What the hell!

Although Dongying’s stock price has collapsed and the housing market has collapsed, the exchange rate against the US dollar has been rising, from 144.236 at the end of last year to the current average of 134.707. It even changed several times a day, and the highest almost broke 130.

As soon as this news came out, the bosses of film companies all over Hong Kong Island frantically clicked their calculators.

Then the box office of 20 billion yen is converted into US dollars, and the average conversion is 134.707-1484.7 million US dollars!
This is so scary! ! !

You know, the Japanese market has always been the graveyard of movies from all over the world!
When other films achieved a box office explosion of over one million dollars in Dongying, Wu Xiaozu's award-winning film actually got a box office score of 1484 million US dollars!

Moreover, this number is still increasing. Many people predict that the box office will not be less than 30 billion. This figure is calculated according to the list of this year, and it is expected to rank in the top five of the year!

The first is enough.

In the past two or three years, the box office champion of Dongying has maintained a record of more than 40 billion yen, and it has increased year by year.

In 1988, "Dunhuang" reached the annual championship with 45 billion yen. In 1989, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" won the box office championship with 44 billion yen. Last year, "Back to the Future 2" even scored 55.3 billion yen. This year Hollywood also has Many movies have landed one after another, among which the most popular one is the truck driver's "Terminator 2" which is expected to land in the summer file...

However, this result has already left everyone dumbfounded, and they lost their language skills!
The entire Hong Kong Island is like the center of a storm that has been delayed, and many people have reacted at this time.

It turns out that Director Wu is already so good outside? ? ! !

Then, someone in the circle reported that Wu Xiaozu had gone to the United States to film... At this time, the various companies and directors breathed a sigh of relief.

MD is finally gone!

Otherwise, they don't know how to play the Spring Festival stalls!

This kind of box office bonus made Wu Xiaozu's prestige in the circle grow rapidly... Then there was a fan protest at the locomotive company!

They protested against the delayed tickets of the locomotive and demanded to see "The Seven Sins" as soon as possible.

This makes the company dumbfounded.

Everyone is worried that such a suspenseful and human nature film during the Spring Festival is not suitable for the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Unexpectedly, this "Seven Sins" directly threw away the director Wu Xiaozu himself, "successful debut", and flew solo!
For this reason, the company had to hold a press conference, announcing that "Seven Sins" would be released as soon as possible after the Spring Festival.

nonsense!

Locomotive and Xinbaoxiu teased to arrange the screening at this time.

If that's the case, the company's three blockbuster dramas during the Spring Festival will really be in vain!

The consequence of this is that many film companies have changed the schedule of the films they are about to release!

Either compete for the Spring Festival stalls in advance, or simply postpone it!
When this news was slowly fermenting on Hong Kong Island and even Southeast Asia, Director Wu had already carried the "full of souvenirs and food on his back, as well as the leftovers from friction with Wang Zuzhen, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhou Huimin, Li Juice..." Pattern' backpack embarked on his exotic "beautiful prostitution" trip.

Alone in a foreign land as a drifter, I miss my relatives a lot.

Knowing the height of DD Alice, there is only one less person to insert foreign horses.

America, I, Wu Mingxiao, here I come——the preface to this story is finally finished, and the main text begins!
