Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 388 Rectifying its name (Happy National Day everyone!!)
The week before Christmas, the Christmas schedule wars in theaters everywhere began.

And "Home Alone", which has been ridiculed by the crowd, has also begun to be screened in the cooperative theaters under Universal Pictures.

Thanks to Langmeyer's efforts, "Home Alone" won a screen of 2000 yuan at its premiere. Many people felt that Langmeyer was crazy after hearing the news.

Knowing that this is a bad movie and giving it so many screens, everyone said that Langmeyer must have made this decision while drunk, or else he was given by Lin Daoqiu. Kidnapped.

When Dawson, the talk show host from last time, found out that the premiere of "Home Alone" had won 2000 yuan for the screen, he began to mock on TV again.

"I don't know what Langmeyer thinks, but I think if I use the 2000 yuan screen to show my talk show, maybe the box office will be higher."

The audience below laughed from ear to ear after hearing Dawson's words. Everyone at the scene thought that what Dawson said might be true.

After all, it's a bad movie, so how could anyone watch it? Giving it so many screens can only be useless.

At the same time, the person being ridiculed by the host was sitting in his office drinking freshly made coffee, looking very leisurely.

The program that was playing on the nearby TV was Dawson's talk show, but what people didn't expect was that Langmeyer was not angry because of the other party's ridicule or sarcasm, but he watched it with relish.

"If Dawson knows that you are watching his show with such a mood now, I can't guess what he will think."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the French windows to enjoy the scenery outside.

"The only thing he can be happy about is tonight. When the box office comes out tomorrow, I believe his show will be even more exciting. I will definitely not miss it then."

Not only that, but Langmeyer has already made an agreement with Dawson that he will be on his last talk show next Monday.

Dawson obviously didn't expect that Langmeyer would want to do such a self-defeating thing, so he agreed immediately without thinking about it.

"What kind of clothes should I wear? When I think of the expression that guy will show at that time, I feel so excited, haha..."

I don't know if it's because of being ridiculed for too long. Langmeyer will never show any affection to the opponent when he fights back. After all, Dawson and the others provoked these things first.

The dignified president of Universal Pictures has been laughed at for two weeks. If Langmeyer is not angry, there will be ghosts.

Although there is also a relationship between him and Lin Daoqiu who adds fuel to it, but he is ridiculed by newspapers, magazines and TV talk shows every day. If he doesn't fight back after getting the results, it will be a big loss.

"Don't be too happy too early. If the box office results are not good, you will be the one who will lose face at that time."

After Lin Daoqiu said this, he didn't even believe it. After all, Langmeyer was very moved after watching it. This proves that this movie is definitely a good movie that attracts people.

"Will I be ashamed? Oh no... Lin, this joke of yours has left me speechless. If this movie doesn't sell well, then I would rather resign from my current position and never do movies in the future."

Although Langmeyer's words sound a little exaggerated, in his opinion, "Home Alone" is definitely a very good movie, definitely suitable for men, women, children and families to watch.

Especially during the Christmas season, when parents bring their children into the theater together, this "Home Alone" is definitely their first choice.

...............

In fact, the progress of "Home Alone" is not as smooth as Langmeyer and Lin Daoqiu thought.

After all, the overwhelming negative reviews made everyone prejudice against this movie from the very beginning. Except for a few early adopters, there are still some viewers who have watched "Mission Impossible" before buying tickets to enter.

And a large part of these people, at the beginning, had a joking mentality, just wanting to see how bad this movie is.

But after the movie ended, many of the people who had the mentality of watching a bad movie before had tears in their eyes, and even many people were already crying silently, even though they were laughing so hard ten minutes ago. Die alive.

Because "Home Alone" only starts showing at night, so the screening time is actually not long.

On the second day, the box office of the first day was summarized in this way, and the result was only a mere 300 million.

When the news came out, the entertainment reporters laughed out loud. Afterwards, as long as it was a movie-related newspaper, they all reported that "Home Alone" only had a box office of 300 million on its first day.

It can be said that now Lin Daoqiu and Langmeyer have become their source of happiness, and of course the movie "Home Alone" is indispensable.

"The 2000 yuan screen only got a box office of 300 million yuan on the first day. I don't know what Universal Pictures thinks, but I'm sure that the person who made this decision must be looking for regret medicine everywhere."

Almost all reporters believe that the single-day highest box office of "Home Alone" should only be so much, and it will definitely decrease in the future.

However, amidst this wave of ridicule, a surprising existence appeared.

As a reporter for the weekly magazine "Film Entertainment", Percy has been running news about movies for a long time.

Although "Home Alone" has been ridiculed for two weeks before, but it's just those few words, and everyone is already tired of hearing it.

So on the day of the screening, Percy bought a ticket and entered the theater in person, intending to watch this legendary "bad movie" from beginning to end, and then go back and write a sharp film review.

Originally, Bossy bought the ticket and entered the theater with great interest at first, planning to go back to the magazine office to catch up on the manuscript after watching it, and then send out the review of the movie early tomorrow morning.

But after she watched the first scene, Percy's mood suddenly changed drastically. Without saying a word, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then turned around and went out to buy a ticket for the next scene.

In the end, from the first to the last scene of the premiere, Percy watched the show several times from the beginning to the end.

After she came out of the movie theater, she rushed back to the magazine office, and wrote a film review overnight that made everyone's eyes drop.

When she handed over the film review that was rushed out overnight to the editor-in-chief, the other party immediately looked at Percy with a shocked expression after reading it.

The editor-in-chief seemed to wonder if she was drinking too much, or taking the wrong medicine, because the title she used was a joke.

"Are you sure you wrote it right? Or are you saying irony?"

The editor-in-chief looked at Percy with a puzzled face, and he felt that this was a bit too incredible.

Because the title on this movie review is, "Best Hollywood Film of 1980: "Home Alone""
