The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 96 The James Tonight Show
In stark contrast to the hit of "Pompeii", "Fatal Identity" scored 345 million on the first day of its large-scale release, demonstrating its strong ability to attract money, and its attendance rate beat "Pompeii".

Afterwards, the theater quickly increased its film schedule, and reported a receipt of 380 million on the second day, and directly rushed to 3 million on Sunday on the third day, and the daily box office reached 420 US dollars.

In this way, on the ninth day of "Fatal Identity"'s release in North America, the cumulative box office reached 9 million. According to this trend, Columbia can not only recover the copyright cost by relying on the box office alone, but even make a fortune.

And Chen Jingxing also appeared on a well-known talk show in the United States under the arrangement of Columbia Pictures
"Welcome back." Tonight show host James Brown smiled and looked at the audience: "Did anyone think the ad just now was too long? The good news is that it will be longer next week! Our guest today is very special, is A foreign friend, to be precise, is from China, so you will see that we will communicate in Huaguo fluently, and those of you who don’t understand Chinese can leave the scene.”

"Hahaha..." There was laughter from the audience.

James Brown stared at the camera: "But you are lucky in front of the TV, the show will be accompanied by English subtitles in real time."

"Just kidding, Huaguo dialect is too difficult to learn. I haven't even learned SMS. I have never understood the messages my daughter sent me."

"Today's guest is Johnson chan! Welcome to New York!"

Chen Jingxing, who was wearing a casual suit, walked out quickly with a smile. Usually, women on talk shows would wear a relatively wide range of clothes, while male guests would be more formal. You don't need to wear a tie, and your shirt can be a little more fancy.

Chen Jingxing's outfit was arranged by Columbia Pictures, and it fits well but also has a certain degree of fashion.

"I heard this is your first talk show in America, right?"

"Yes, it feels very strange. The cheers and applause from the audience just now gave me the illusion that I am a Hollywood star. Are the audience all actors invited by the show?"

James Brown showed an embarrassing expression: "I asked them to behave moderately before the show started, but you know, they are all amateur actors who can't grasp their limits."

After laughing, James asked: "Your first movie "Comet" caused a huge Internet buzz here."

Chen Jingxing nodded, and made a bewildered expression: "Yes, I know, American taste really confuses me."

"Haha, you are the creator of this movie. What is the magic of this movie? During that time, my daughter also kept using tags about "Comet". Young people used ABCD to write characters in this movie one by one. Mark, and then argue about how many A's, B's, C's, and even frame-by-frame analysis, like a crossword puzzle, what kind of magic did you cast on this movie?"

Chen Jingxing naturally followed up on the stalk thrown by the host: "Can I say it here? I cast the Imperius Curse on the movie "Comet", and I just escaped from Azkaban."

Amidst the audience's laughter, Chen Jingxing continued: "No, my magic power is not that strong. I think it's a coincidence. The topicality of "Comet" is more like an accident. Maybe "Comet" was broadcast on Netflix. At that time, the American people happened to be bored and nothing major happened. Suddenly someone found an interesting puzzle. He didn’t mind spending some time trying to solve it, and he also called on more young people to join in this puzzle solving game. , I think it is because of the fun of solving problems."

Amidst the audience's laughter, James Brown had a serious expression: "WOW! The joy of solving problems? Your words will bring a lot of inspiration to our country's basic mathematics education." He stared at the camera: "Hollywood, heard Hurry up and find the math teacher to make a movie!"

Chen Jingxing quickly defended: "Don't take it seriously, what I said just now was actually all nonsense, I dripped the love potion on the movie file of "Comet", if anyone of you wants it, you can ask me to buy it, it will make everyone Audiences love your films."

After laughing, James Brown asked the second question: "I noticed that you didn't receive relevant artistic influence and professional training when you were growing up. Your resume before making movies is very normal. You are a good boy in the eyes of your parents and family. , with excellent academic performance, went to a prestigious university, and even majored in mathematics."

The host emphasized the pronunciation of the word math, which drew knowing smiles from the audience.

"Your life is so normal, what made you change all of a sudden? Oh my god! Why am I still learning the damn math? I should be making a movie!"

Chen Jingxing replied with a smile: "Actually, I didn't start wanting to make movies after graduating from college. I was in high school, which is the happiest time in your American life..."

Chen Jingxing continued amidst the audience's laughter: "I also changed at that time. I suddenly realized that I actually like movies more than I like mathematics! Do you know how incredible this is?"

James Brown nodded with a smothered laugh. Race jokes never go out of style.

"You know that you have to bring a math book with you when you go out on a date with us." Chen Jingxing continued, making racial jokes without changing his face: "But I still bravely accepted myself, overcame the worldly vision, and prepared for a long time. Time, after college, to finally make a boring movie of eight people talking in a house."

"...I thought you were coming out just now?"

After the audience laughed, James Brown continued to ask: "What was the opportunity? I suddenly fell in love with movies, and why did I want to be a director in the future? Did I watch a certain movie or something else? Will there be an opportunity?"

Can I tell you it's because of crossing?

Chen Jingxing frowned slightly and thought of an excuse: "It's because I was organized by the school to go to a natural science museum. Unexpectedly, a spider slipped on my neck and bit me, and then the next day suddenly appeared in my mind. A lot of movies that don't exist in this world."

"Hahahahaha..."

Chen Jingxing looked puzzled: "Why are you laughing so loudly? Could it be that there are people in the United States who have exactly the same experience as me?"

"Just kidding, the opportunity is actually not a movie, but a novel, a science fiction novel by Clark and Asimov. I am deeply fascinated by the science fiction world created by the two of them, and I have a strong desire to turn science fiction stories into The impulse that the image presents to the audience.”
