New York 1988

Chapter 194 Don't Play Cards According to the Routine (Please Subscribe)

"Hey, there are too many bitches who want to get in touch with Vincent. They don't talk about giving birth to children and getting inheritance, but about traffic. The topic is so hot that many people are willing to read this kind of gossip. Then, some Little stars like to make up such little stories.”

"That's right, for example, that bitch called Drew Barrymore, she kept talking about Uncle Vincent, Vincent obviously did it for Spielberg's sake, but ours The little proprietress Tess is not polite, it is said that she just told her to shut up...!"

"Hey, I heard that the little proprietress also has a child. Tell me, how much can she share?"

"What do you mean by how much? The big and small bosses have always had a good relationship, and you haven't seen that in the list of shareholders of various listed companies, some have the names of small bosses, such as Wells Fargo, do you know how much it is worth?" ... Forget it, it's really boring to chat with a guy like you who has no knowledge and only knows gossip!"

"Hey, I heard that Vincent acted in a Chinese movie in the East. It is said to be very interesting. I wonder if it will be shown here?"

"Sure, it's our boss's own company's film, but the proprietress said that the boss was always excited when he acted, but she also said that maybe we might not understand it!"

In the early morning, outside Los Angeles International Studios, before the midnight show of "Avatar", there were almost all Han Sheng's diehard fans outside, and there were relatively few passers-by.

Moreover, most of these people even know each other, whether they are in their teens or their [-]s or [-]s, they can chat for a long time.

However, this is also from a side view, without Han Sheng personally acting, no matter how loud the bragging is, the public's feeling for "Avatar" is still very general for the time being.

Therefore, this is also reflected in the box office.

Although it was only 7702 million compared with the original space-time, the three-day weekend was only 1.22 million. Because of Han Sheng's strong appeal, he got [-] million, which is only twice as much. However, this is at least [-] million for the movie he starred in personally , that's too far away.

The reason is actually very simple.

It's because he wasn't there.

From 88 to 09, almost 22 years, Han Sheng has really experienced a generation, and it is the era when the so-called American dream is most publicized, and he is almost synonymous with that.

Then, because he shared all kinds of simple medical knowledge all the year round, benefiting too many people, he became a real benevolent doctor and a miracle doctor in the eyes of ordinary people in the United States. He not only gained respect, but also gained greater love.

Then, so many years of movies and records have become the memory of the generation in their 40s and 20s, but they are still so profound for the new generation of young people in their teens and [-]s.

Therefore, he can be said to be engraved in the bones of these people. Whenever he starred in movies, records, etc., everyone respects, trusts, likes, etc., as long as he has money and leisure, passers-by go to the movies. His face is the first choice.

That's why his movie box office and record sales have been insane in general.

He is already a cultural symbol, a spiritual symbol, and even a totem-like existence.

That's why the boss of Universal Pictures said that as long as Han Sheng is willing to act in his family's movie, the 2 million dollar salary will be given directly without any negotiation. It is for this reason.

However, he did not appear in it himself.

Then, apart from diehard fans, the words of passers-by will not have that strong adsorption, and their choices will be more swaying.

This is really the embodiment of complete personal charm.

Therefore, when the box office came out, 1.22 million was a lot, but when Han Sheng bragged before, it was 30 billion dollars. This shit, if this situation is followed, 25 million in North America is not bad. Is there still [-] billion overseas?
Are you making an international joke?

So, some people began to sing bad news.

After all, in this world, it is impossible for everyone to like you.

"30 billion? Are you serious, Vincent?" "The Voice of the Cowboy State" made no secret of its cynicism: "We are always used to hearing him boast, and even once thought that what he said was the truth. In fact, He just happened to be lucky.

Now look, tsk, 1.22 million in the first weekend, my God, what a high box office, it has exceeded [-] million, it is very remarkable, after all, this movie is all small characters, and the salary is said to be very low. Anyway, at least it can Making money is a sure thing...! "

Even if it fails, it is only once.

It is enough to say that you are lucky after one failure.

Of course, some are less tasteful, like Entertainment Weekly, "Honestly, I think Vincent may be exaggerating the movie's appeal a little too much, although seriously, it's a good movie, especially in IMAX." It’s really shocking to watch it in the living room, but, 30 billion, cheese, it’s just a movie, it’s really too exaggerated...!"

However, something very interesting happened soon.

In other words, don't slap your face too quickly.

In the second week, just like the original time and space, there was almost no decline. The decline in the original time and space was 1.8%. Well, you read that right, it was less than [-]%, and this time and space was slightly more, because The base is also large.

1.22 million dropped 5%, and the second week received 1.16 million knives.

If we say that the second week may still be the first ten days, so "maybe, or maybe it's because the movie's box office is high, but in the third week, just like the original time and space, it still only fell by less than 10%, to 9.5 %, got a box office of 1.05 million knives.

Good guy, the media is a little numb now.

No, you thick eyebrows and big eyes don't play your cards according to the routine.

Moreover, what is even more terrifying is the overseas box office.

The box office of the overseas simultaneous release, three weeks later, has exceeded 6 million knives.

This is crazy, except for "Titanic", there has never been an overseas box office that has so much more box office than the North American box office, so it is directly doubled.

Moreover, 9 million plus 30 million, the children in the first grade of elementary school know that it is [-] million, [-] million in three weeks, plus that horrible weekly decline, Nima, I feel that this [-] billion is a bit reliable.

"Hollywood Reporter" This [-]-year-old boy likes to jump left and right the most. In fact, he didn't have much doubts at the beginning. At this time, he immediately jumped up and bit his peers, "A bunch of trash, idiots, you have the face to question The great Vincent, he is the king of this world, everything he said is the truth!"

Look at this shameless strength, even scolding himself, he has to lick it before talking.

Of course, the most nuisance is actually the competitors.

After all, Warner Bros. has suffered enough from Han Sheng, so even without him, they chose to avoid it for two weeks. Then, on the 25th of Christmas Day, they released their ambitious "Sherlock Holmes". ".

Then, Twentieth Century Fox also had the same idea, and appeared in the best-selling series of "Mouse 2 Star Club" two weeks later.

Originally, when they thought about it, it wasn’t you, Han Sheng, who played the leading role. After another two weeks, it’s enough to give you face. Who knew it was a slap in the face, shit, after two weeks, "Avatar" still got 1.05 million .

And "Detective Sherlock Holmes" got 6230 million dollars in the original time and space, which is actually quite powerful. Then, "Mouse 2 Star Club" got 4887 million dollars.

However, in this time and space, "Sherlock Holmes" only got 4991 million dollars, while "Mouse 2 Star Club" only got 3675 million dollars.

In other words, isn't it said that 80% of the box office revenue of "Avatar" comes from IMAX theaters, and it doesn't affect 2D theaters. It seems that it shouldn't be affected.

Whoa, that's too young.

It's very simple. There are always so many people who buy tickets to watch movies. Even, they might be able to watch two shows, but a movie ticket for an IMAX theater is equivalent to two ordinary tickets, or even more.

So what to do, cold salad, don't watch it.

Therefore, after "Avatar" became popular, and all kinds of bragging about how powerful, exciting, and arrogant it was, most people chose to watch the new and awesome IMAX, and even once made IMAX theaters have no place at all.

People are like this, the more crowded, the more people there are, I always think that is good.

Well, of course, sometimes it does.

Then, unsurprisingly, the box office squeeze kicks in.

Then, Warner and [-]th Century Fox were sadly reminded.

Unfortunately, at this time, the media began to sneer.

"Vincent already said the box office of 30 billion knives, how confident do you have to be to grab the box office with him on Christmas, have you forgotten the phrase 'Christmas schedule, Merry Christmas for Vincent alone', You are still too young!"

Warner's new CEO nearly sprayed the bastards.

It was these bastards who were still saying that Vincent was finished.

Sure enough, this group of people is the most unscrupulous, shameless to the point.

……

No matter what you say, no matter who is in joys and sorrows, in short, "Avatar" is really bad. Not only did it continue to make rapid progress in North America, but in the fourth week, it only dropped by 20%, and it collected more than 8000 million. A little more than 20%, the collection is 6109 million, which is already more than [-] million dollars.

However, what is even more frightening is that overseas, it was only doubled before, but now it means much more than doubled.

North America is only 4.7 million dollars, good guy, overseas has exceeded 11 billion dollars.

The "New York Times" yelled directly, good guy, this time I feel that 30 billion knives will be unstoppable. Of course, this is a joke, but at this moment, everyone really feels the 30 billion knives. The smell of knives.

Among them, there is another huge factor, that is, the upsurge of IMAX movie viewing has not dissipated, and too many people are preparing to watch one, and those who have seen it are even planning to do a second, third and so on. of.

This data is the reason why the box office continues to sprint wildly.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the early box office is, in this era when we are used to the fast food effect and the box office in the first week accounts for a quarter or even a third of the total box office, it is difficult for everyone to be optimistic about the total box office of "Avatar". .

Another success, another fulfillment like a prophecy, made Han Sheng more respected and admired, and even some people faintly believed in him, and really felt that everything he said was right and the truth .

Anyway, many of his women obeyed him.

Of course, Elizabeth is not included.

Originally they were having fun, but when the one-year-old kid outside cried, Elizabeth said that she would quit, and she was going to coax her son.

"He's almost two years old. You spoil him too much. It's impossible for him to grow up like this. He's been tempered...!"

However, Elizabeth just curled her lips, "What you're thinking about now is your own happiness...!"

"That's your happiness too!" Han Sheng said shamelessly, and then speeded up.

Elizabeth was about to kick him over, but he held him too tightly.

Moreover, after all, he is thirty years old like LANG.

In no time, I could only hug him tightly.

After giving birth, her body became more plump and rounded, but because of practicing Tunajia Wing Chun fitness, her body is still extremely tight and full of elasticity.

Han Sheng liked it more and more.

Tossing, tossing, tossing endlessly.

He was almost tossed to death.

"Why are you still acting like a child!" Elizabeth pinched him angrily.

He is really stinky and shameless, eating endlessly.

It's just human relations, Han Sheng didn't feel embarrassed, and continued.

He went outside and said he had a phone call.

The boss Jiang Lai called, "Well, boss, why don't you care about everything after the filming of this movie, isn't that unreasonable?"

Han Sheng is happy, it must be because "Avatar" has a super box office, so even the boss Jiang was shocked, and then he has more confidence in him. Naturally, I probably hope that he will watch "Let the Bullets Fly" "Post-production and the like.

Otherwise, with that guy's arbitrary character, and Han Sheng specially gave him that power, he's afraid that no one will know how to be a bird.

"Why, I gave you all the power, or is it my fault?" Han Sheng laughed.

"No, for example, if you are an emperor, you can't let a courtier do everything, right? You have to, you have to supervise, you have to, you have to make up your mind at the end, right?" Jiang started talking nonsense.

In fact, as soon as I heard it, I knew that I wanted him to go and see it.

"Well, it's just been a while, my grandpa's 90th birthday, I'll be back, I'll go and have a look then!"

"Look, this is your fault, isn't it, our old man is 90 years old, why didn't you tell me, those who don't know think I'm rude!" This guy started running the train again.

Han Sheng said that I believe in your evil!

……

February 2010, 2, the sixth day of the first lunar month, is the 19th birthday of Han Sheng's grandfather, Han Li.

90 years old is really a long life, and the Han family is really rich now, even if you want to keep a low profile, so the Han family must still have a good celebration.

However, there is something to be particular about the method.

Because of the old man's birthday, Han Sheng and Elizabeth came back in Xiaonian.

After eating, the big guys started to discuss.

Han Sheng spoke first, and said what he thought, "If I want to put it simply, I will prepare a three-day and three-night running water banquet. All relatives and friends are welcome to come. However, no gifts are accepted, and not only do not accept gifts, come The person who is here has to give him a big gift bag, to thank him for saving face in his busy schedule...!"

This, before Han Sheng crossed over, all the bosses or rich people he knew did this.

That way, people's sophistication will be taken into account, and then they will have both face and face. As for money, their family is not short of money.

That's really not bad money.

It was Han Yan, my aunt, who said at this time, "This idea is okay, but isn't three days and three nights a little short?"

Han Sheng couldn't help laughing, "Grandmother, it's extravagant and wasteful if the time is too long, and people don't necessarily say anything behind their backs. How should I put it, three days and three nights, the ostentation has arrived, the face has been gained, and it's just not too extravagant.

Of course, this is a flowing seat, you may not be clear about it, it is a table, which is rotated every moment, good guy, it is not worse than going to a hotel to open [-] tables, even for ten days and half a month! "

Hey, Han Yan is indeed a little less knowledgeable. Even if he is rich, he seldom goes out to see the world. In addition, he is old, and he is slow to absorb new knowledge, and it is even difficult.

"What about the big gift bag, how can I get it?" Mother Julia said in half-baked Mandarin.

"First of all, generally speaking, there must be alcohol and tobacco. For cigarettes, Zhonghua tobacco is better. There are more than 70 packs, two packs. Then, as for wine, Moutai is also fine, and then red wine is also fine. Luxury is expensive. point!"

"Other than that, there are special things, such as our hometown, local products, and maybe even produced by our family. However, our family makes too many things. It would be a disaster if we tried everything ...!"

With that said, everyone was happy.

"Which ones are better, four or eight?" Elizabeth didn't know much about this, so she could only ask the old man.

In fact, Han Li and Han Zheng don't know much about it, mainly because they haven't done this in China, so they have little experience.

As for Han Sheng, not only in this life, but also in his previous life.

So I said: "There is no fixed one, even if it is five, six, or nine...!"

Then I glanced at the big guy, "I think there are only eight types, two cigarettes, two bottles of wine, four types, and the other four types, think about it!"

Han Li has already returned to China to settle down, and it is the first time to spend his birthday in China, which can be regarded as the face of the Han family. Therefore, money is really not a problem. There is nothing wrong with spending 20 billion, or even [-] billion. The uniqueness makes people feel that hey, when you look at other people, they are different, and it is not just because of money.

"Or, the children are the same, the parents are the same, and the grandparents are the same. In this case, the gift box is designed with the concept of home!"

Elizabeth is smart, "Even, can you expand it a little bit, family and country, family and country feelings!"

Han Sheng was quite impressed, "It's pretty good, but it's not easy to choose a gift!"

He also joked: "I heard you talk about children, parents, grandparents, etc. at the beginning, and I plan to directly send children's education funds, parents' life insurance, grandparents' endowment insurance, and our family's insurance company just happens to have them!"

Elizabeth punched him angrily, "It's business!"

However, she didn't even think about what gift to use immediately.

This will take time, or you can ask a professional or something.
