I really don't want to be red

Chapter 1520 Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve!
Xizhou is full of happy scenes everywhere.

On this night, parents make Christmas trees and presents for their children at home.

Everyone gathers for a turkey...

eat turkey?
An Ran really doesn't like this thing, the whole chicken tastes really bad when it's roasted.

Especially Lucas did it himself. This old man in his 50s has never cooked for a few days in his life. Who knows that today he will suddenly become very excited and invite everyone to have dinner in the luxury apartment he has contracted.

An Ran, Chu Xiaoxiao, and Fei Liwen are all people who are used to Xia Zhou's lack of food. They really feel that they can't eat this huge turkey.

Fortunately, after taking two bites himself, Lucas also found the chicken unpalatable, so he simply ordered other takeaways.

After coming to Xizhou for so long, An Ran and others are still not used to the food in Xizhou.

Either fried or baked, lack of effective cooking methods, the taste of the food can be imagined.

Similar to KFC and McDonald's, it can only be eaten as a fast food.

Fortunately, this time Lucas called Xiazhou cuisine, but it was not authentic, it was better than nothing.

When it was twelve o'clock, Lucas had been paying attention to the box office situation.

Tomato online box office statistics have begun.

Many young people will come out to play on Christmas Eve.

The customs of Xizhou are open, and Christmas Eve is also called Christmas Eve.

But young people's spending power is limited.

Most of them will choose to watch a movie, and then take the girl to the house of a classmate who has no adults at home to play.

Then it will be a matter of course to achieve good things.

For a middle-class family in Xizhou, after deducting taxes from their annual income, the disposable income is about US$6.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are relatively cheap. If you cook a meal yourself, you can get it for a few dollars.

Of course, according to the food taste of Xizhou people, it is only about being able to eat.

However, the consumption of services in Xizhou is very expensive. Haircuts start at 20 yuan. If you go out to eat a similar meal, you will have to pay two to three hundred yuan.

If you want to make an appointment in such a big city, it costs about 10 yuan to watch a movie.

Except for Anran's AMR, in order to attract customers, Enron's cinemas only cost 6 yuan per movie.

This kind of cheap consumption has become the first choice for young people's entertainment.

So Christmas Eve box office will be pretty good.

Lucas clicked on Tomato.com on his phone and looked for it.

Bring the pre-sale box office at 12 o'clock, No.1 is "Men in Black 4", with a box office of 690 million.

No.2 is "Alien Battlefield", and No.3 is "Godzilla"!
As for "Scary Movie", it actually ranked eighth.

Lucas was speechless, isn't this too much?
An Ran didn't care, "What's so disappointing? As long as this movie can be released, it's just disgusting those film companies. I don't expect to make much money at all."

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "How about we go to the movies too?"

After coming to Xizhou for so long, she and Fei Liwen have been busy with work, and have never had a good time to relax.

Just take this opportunity to watch a movie and relax.

Funny movies, best for relaxing.

An Ran hesitated for a moment, this movie is a bit vulgar, and there are some things in it that are not suitable for children.

Chu Xiaoxiao has always been his older sister, so if she saw it, it wouldn't be appropriate, would she?

But Lucas, an old guy, didn't care about this, "It's very good, I don't have anything to do anyway, so let's go and have a look."

He was just joining in the fun.

"Alright!" What else could An Ran say.

Several people found an AMR theater, went in and bought tickets, found their seats and sat down to wait for the movie to start.

This is a small theater that can accommodate about 80 people.

When a few people entered, there were already a few scattered people sitting there.

When the movie is about to start, the audience in the entire theater is only a little over one-third.

Now that it was released on the first day, the attendance rate is so bleak, and I am afraid it will be even more bleak in the future.

It is estimated that after three days, more than half of the people will be lost.

I'm afraid the box office won't reach 5000 million.

Fortunately, when An Ran made a movie, there were no other costs involved except the production fee, and the box office was half of the movie theater and the production company.

This is much higher than the rebates given by other theaters.

After a few more people came in, the audience froze at less than 30 people.

They are basically young men and women, cuddling together, eating popcorn and potato chips, talking and laughing in low voices.

The movie started, and it still refused to stop, whispering all the time, and it seemed that the attention was completely lost on the movie.

This is another bad phenomenon.

Everyone is not paying attention, young men and women think this will be full of affection, it is hard to say how much thought is put into the movie.

If you don't pay attention, you can't see the fun.

If you don't have fun going out, you won't say good things. In addition, this movie is a bit vulgar, so don't worry about word of mouth.

Lucas lowered his box office expectations again, 3000 million!
If it is 3000 million, even if you don't make much, you don't lose.

As for this result, to be honest, before the start, he somewhat expected it. After all, An Ran basically didn't publicize it much, and it was clear that he didn't intend to make money.

Probably the worst score in the Enron movie.

Thinking about it, the movie started.

At the very beginning, someone gave a soft "Huh", "This house seems to be the haunted house in "Ghost Story"?"

"It's not like, it's just like that!"

"Is this the so-called 'tribute'?"

In Blue Star Movies, everyone has not yet had the habit of saying plagiarism as a "tribute".

So, everyone didn't understand what An Ran's so-called "tribute" was about, and they all thought it was a compliment. As for how to pay tribute, everyone didn't know.

As a result, the opening chapter is the house in "Ghost Story", which is so obvious that people can see it at a glance.

"Is this guy paying homage to his own movie?"

"may be!"

After hearing everyone's discussion, An Ran didn't take it to heart, and watched the movie happily.

Later you will know what "salute" means.

Neither Chu Xiaoxiao nor Fei Liwen watched the movie.

After watching the beginning, Fei Liwen asked curiously: "Why did you put our house in the movie? It's still dark and has a scary atmosphere."

Lucas shuddered when he heard that, these two are very courageous.

He dare not live in that house...

The point is that the prop man scared him enough, until now when he sees Rachel, he still feels a little wrong.

These two have no scruples.

Hearing Fei Liwen's words, An Ran coughed and said vaguely, "Salute to the classics!"

Fei Liwen was taken aback for a moment, then she nodded with a smile. Does this guy put gold on his face?
However, "Ghost Story" is indeed regarded as a classic among horror films. There is a gap in the head compared with it, but it is among many shoddy horror films.

This one was more shoddy, but it became a clean stream instead. ,

Fei Liwen asked in a low voice, "Your movie...how much box office is it estimated?"
