Chapter 359 Going to the United States Again [Please subscribe]

On August 2008, 8, the opening ceremony of the 8th Olympic Games was held at the Bird's Nest National Stadium in Beijing.

The halo illuminates the ancient sundial, 2008 actors play the fou and sing, the long scroll of Chinese history slowly opens, and the Olympic flame is blazing for the first time in this eastern country.

At the moment of the opening ceremony, almost every Chinese person was sitting in front of the screen watching the grand event in the capital.

During the day, they may still be students studying hard, farmers working hard, workers sweating profusely, white-collar workers busy in the workplace, and soldiers guarding the border. But at this moment, they are all excited Chinese people.

Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime event, although the filming of "Star You" has not yet been completed, Sun Yi still gave the entire crew a half-day holiday. In the evening, everyone gathered together to watch the live broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremony.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Watching the Olympic flame lighting up over the Bird's Nest, Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh.

Feeling this shocking scene again, Sun Yi couldn't conceal his excitement.

Not to mention anything else, for this opening ceremony alone, Lao Mouzi can definitely afford to be a national master.

"Do you feel any regret?"

"What's the regret?"

"You are specially appointed by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and one of the ambassadors of Smiling China 2008. Don't you feel regretful that you did not attend the opening ceremony in person?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly at Sun Yi.

"Shouldn't I watch this with you? As long as I'm with you, there will be no regrets."

Huh.

Xiao Nizi's sudden words of love caught Sun Yi off guard.

Looking at Liu Yifei's eyes shining like stars, she was speechless for a moment.

"Look at what?"

"Look at you."

"Look at what I do?"

Faced with Xiao Nizi's question, Sun Yi decided to respond.

"I like you, so I look at you."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him with some annoyance, then turned her head and continued to look at the screen in a pretentious manner, but the corners of her mouth still unconsciously raised an arc, revealing a pair of shallow dimples.

Under the seat that no one else noticed, the two people's hands were already tightly clasped together.

With the end of the opening ceremony, the crew once again caught up with the filming progress. The communication mentioned by Sister Yu has not yet been concluded. Sun Yi cannot place all his hopes on it. At the moment, completing the filming is still the top priority. .

As for TV stations, Yang Fan is also constantly following up, and Sichuan Satellite TV is not lagging behind either.

During this time, screenings of "Shelter" are also continuing in the United States.

On Wednesday, the average attendance was 42 people, and the total box office in a single day was 49330 US dollars.

On Thursday, the average attendance was 48 people, and the total box office in a single day was 56160 US dollars.

In the first three days of screening, "Shelter" grossed a total of US$147610 in 1640 theaters, with a single theater box office of US$[-].

Because it is a working day, the daily increase is not very large.

However, the reputation has not declined, and the A+ rating rate remains at around 50.00%.

With the arrival of Friday, the North American movie market has reached its busiest time of the week. The weekly movie rankings in North America are also determined based on the weekend box office figures of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is also the most reflective A time period for a movie's potential and competitiveness.

Jenny is a ticket seller at a Regal Cinema in Houston. She is unlucky this week and has to work the weekend shift. The workload in the three days of the weekend is often several times that of the previous working day.

"Three copies of The Dark Knight, thank you."

Jenny took the banknotes handed over by the other party and skillfully wrote out the bills and made change. "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" has been released for its fourth week, but there are still a lot of viewers watching Bruce Wayne and the Joker. This is also The best-selling movie in theaters this week.

"A piece of Shelter, thank you."

"Two copies of Mamma Mia, please. Thank you."

"Two copies of "Shelter", thank you."

The clock turned little by little, and the hour hand pointed to 8 o'clock in the evening. Jenny was busy all the time. Suddenly, a group of people who looked like college students appeared at the window in front of her.

"Hello, five, oh no, six copies of "Shelter," please." "Okay."

Jenny took the banknotes as before, but when she wrote out the bills, she was stunned.

Not enough!
There are no tickets for "Shelter"!
Since 6 o'clock, she has been busy, writing invoices and changing money without paying attention at all.

Unexpectedly, in just two hours, the tickets for the on-demand movie "Shelter" were sold out.

Jenny couldn't believe it, knowing that this was just a movie that was screened on demand.

She checked the movie playlist again.

Really no more.

Because "Shelter" is a on-demand movie, the cinema has arranged the smallest screening room, and the number of screenings is not that full.

"Sorry, tickets are sold out today."

"Oh, no, there's no midnight show, we can wait."

"I'm very sorry. This movie is currently being screened and there is no midnight show scheduled. The last show is at 10 o'clock and there are no seats left."

"Then come tomorrow."

"this is okay."

The college student took the ticket and complained to his companions as he left the window.

"Damn it, guys, there's no seats for tonight."

"We should have come yesterday. Billy is a very well-known film critic. Many people will see his posts online. He gave this film four and a half stars. This is the highest score he has given this year except "The Dark Knight" It’s the movie with the highest score, I’m a little anxious, what kind of movie can make him score such a high score, I heard that the heroine is Asian.”

"Not only the heroine, but also the director is Asian. We'll find out tomorrow."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

After "Shelter" fermented for several days, the overwhelming reputation of the audience finally took effect. Many fans who had watched it began to benefit from each other. In particular, some independent film critics began to post reviews about the film on their personal homepages, and With the high score, the film's good reputation began to spread rapidly on the Internet.

On Friday night, from Los Angeles to Seattle, from New York to Houston, the single-show attendance of thirty movie theaters ushered in an explosion. Many people even came to the theaters in groups to call their names. To see "Shelter", the screenings in some theaters were actually sold out.

By Monday morning, the situation had been reported to Weinstein Pictures.

"The single-day box office on Friday was US$102330, and the single-theater box office was US$3411, which directly doubled, but the film's A+ rating still did not fall below 50.00%."

These data placed on Harvey Weinstein's desk are the best proof of the market potential of "Shelter"!

Originally, he thought of distributing the film according to normal standards and making a fortune, but now it seems that this is a complete waste of money, as if the money is not regarded as money.

This time, he had no choice but to mobilize all his resources and connections to work on Sun Yi's movie and once again put the name Harvey Weinstein on the front page of Hollywood.

After a moment, Harvey made his decision, but then he thought again.

All this plan still lacks one most critical core figure.

That is the director of the film, Sun Yi.

Thinking of Sun Yi, Harvey couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Back then, he thought Sun Yi was a wealthy and stupid guy from China.

Unexpectedly, this young man turned out to be a dragon crossing the river, and he joined forces to take advantage of the conflicts between Disney and John behind John's back to sign a competitive contract in advance, and use the subsequent profits from the movie as bait to hang them. Two families.

The most important thing is that this young man has succeeded in the movie, and the screening report in front of him explains everything.

At this moment, he could not help but feel some appreciation for Sun Yi in his heart.

Have the means, have the ability, and most importantly, know how to share.

It seems that with such a partner, the probability of realizing his ambition will be greatly increased.

At that moment, I made an overseas phone call.

"Oh, dear Sun, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you and your girlfriend, Miss Crystal, to the United States again?"

　Sorry, it's too late.
