Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

The final single-week box office data of "Assassin's Alliance" is 85.5 million US dollars, which is beyond everyone's expectations.

The topic that Disney President Iger likes to talk about most at recent gatherings is his release of "Assassin's Alliance", including how he took an extra 5% of the profit share from Nie Wei, and how he had a precise vision and decisively increased the number of screens for the premiere of "Assassin's Alliance" to more than 2,000.

In the past two days, he even proudly said to his friends more than once during the chat that the release of "Assassin's Alliance" was the most successful overseas film distribution deal he had made since he became the president of Disney.

His words are really not bragging. You know, "Assassin's Alliance", which earned 85 million US dollars in the first week, should be able to earn more than 150 million US dollars at the end of its release. If the current good momentum can be maintained for a while, even hitting 200 million is not a dream.

And in 2008, how many movies can have a box office of more than 150 million?

The answer is eleven.

In Iger's opinion, "Assassin's Alliance" has great potential to break into the top ten of the North American box office chart in 2008. Disney, which had no intention of competing for this year's Christmas season, suddenly received such a big gift, and Iger was extremely surprised.

At the same time, because of the success of the release of "Assassin's Alliance", Iger also had greater prestige in the board of directors, and his position as president was also strengthened by three points.

Iger was in a good mood, and naturally praised Thomas who supported "Assassin's Alliance" at the meeting.

And not only verbal praise, Thomas was also rewarded by the head office, and he was also assigned to be responsible for the overseas film distribution.

Although the position was only a horizontal transfer, the power in his hands was greatly increased.

You must know that Disney is the world's top film company and one of the best operating Hollywood film companies. For such a giant enterprise, its overseas distribution also represents huge power and interests.

Thomas can sit in such a position, even if he is just one of the supervisors, it is much more important than his previous position. The difference can be felt from the way the company employees look at him in the past few days.

In the past, employees looked at him politely but not with much respect. Now, many employees look at him with respect, which is the involuntary and heartfelt feeling of the lower-level people towards the powerful.

If Thomas feels very satisfied with the respect of employees, there are also many sudden temptations. Anyway, Thomas feels that his previous days were really wasted, and the days he spent in the past two days after the promotion are more intoxicating than the paradise described in the Bible.

Fortunately, Thomas has not completely lost himself in power. He at least remembers who brought him all this.

The day after the promotion, when Thomas reported the box office news of the day to Nie Wei, he also extended a sincere invitation to Nie Wei, hoping that Nie Wei could go to his house for a dinner.

"Mr. Nie, I sincerely invite you to visit my house and taste the dishes made by my wife. My family and I want to express our gratitude to you." When Thomas said this, he was nervous. In his eyes, Nie Wei was a big man at the same level as Egg.

He was afraid that his rash invitation would be rejected, but if he was asked to just thank Nie Wei verbally, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Although he was a little greedy, he was a man of loyalty.

Fortunately, Thomas's inner uneasiness soon disappeared with Nie Wei's agreement, and all that was left was full of surprise and gratitude.

Nie Wei did hesitate for a moment when Thomas suddenly invited him to his house for a dinner, but thinking about how this guy had been busy with his movie, Nie Wei felt that this guy was still a person worth getting to know. Although it was unlikely to become a friend, as a partner, Thomas was qualified.

Thomas's family dinner was scheduled with Nie Wei at five in the evening. Because the hotel was a little far from Thomas's home, Nie Wei and Luo Kai went out at four o'clock.

This time, Nie Wei had to wear a mask when he went out, because with the popularity of "Assassin's League", some viewers of this movie had begun to recognize Nie Wei on the street.

Nie Wei still remembers that the first person who recognized him was a cashier in a supermarket near the hotel. Her surprised expression and trembling voice left a deep impression on Nie Wei. Of course, this was also largely related to the good looks of the cashier.

Moreover, Nie Wei already had a certain popularity base in North America. At the beginning, several English songs also made Nie Wei popular in this land, but Nie Wei never managed it carefully, so the popularity came and went quickly.

Now that "Assassin's League" is in theaters, many viewers have recalled Nie Wei. Some comments have also appeared on the Internet, mentioning Nie Wei and the popular songs he wrote before. Under the popularization of these people, many new fans who only knew Nie Wei from movies learned that the Asian boy they liked could actually write songs, and they wrote very well.

After discovering that Nie Wei had another talent besides acting, these new fans became more curious and wanted to, and they were still searching for information about Nie Wei on the entire Internet.

If you don't search, you won't know. The result really scared them.

"And didn't you realize that this movie, The Assassin's League, was also shot by Nie Wei, so in addition to being an actor, he is also a great director."

"My God, this actor named Nie Wei is actually a billionaire, and he is only 22 years old!!!"

"I actually fell in love with such an amazing guy. I have decided that he will be my lifelong idol!"

"I admire the Internet empire he created. It turns out that the Weibo I use was created by him. I just want to say that this is really a genius idea."

"HEY, brothers, I have a new discovery. He is actually a game planner. The "League of Legends" we play is planned by him. Oh my God, how many identities are worth exploring? I even doubt whether he is the illegitimate son of God. Otherwise, why would he have so many genius ideas."

"I think I should let him feel the enthusiasm of our American girls. Does anyone know the hotel and room number where he lives?"

"Don't be delusional. He already has a beautiful wife in the East."

"What does it matter?"

The young generation in the United States most admires those idols who have successfully started their own businesses through their own efforts, such as Bill Gates or Larry Page.

After all, this is a society dominated by money. Here, the richer you are, the more successful you are. Those big businessmen often have a large number of fans or even believers. In the past few days, as Nie Wei's personal information has been dug up more and more, more and more young Americans have begun to worship Nie Wei.

Especially Nie Wei's age, which is basically the same as theirs, has increased the sense of identity of this group of people. They have regarded Nie Wei as their idol and goal, and even influenced many people to join the Internet technology industry. After all, on the surface, Nie Wei really started his career through the Internet technology industry.

Riding in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan provided by the hotel, Nie Wei and Luo Kai finally arrived at Thomas's door five minutes before five o'clock.

Thomas's home is a typical two-story villa in the United States. There is a fairly spacious yard in front of the door, with some bushes planted in it, and the lawn is neatly trimmed. In the small yard, there are some miniature amusement equipment, which are obviously prepared for his baby.

Thomas and his family were waiting at the door. When they saw a Mercedes-Benz S parked in front of their door, Thomas immediately went forward to greet it. At this time, Nie Wei was the only person who came to his house in such a luxury car.

Thomas's enthusiasm surprised Luo Kai. Luo Kai just got out of the car and was about to open the door for Nie Wei, but the job was snatched away by Thomas.

"Mr. Nie, I welcome you very much. I feel very honored." What surprised Nie Wei was that Thomas' words were expressed in Chinese. Although it sounded a bit weird, the meaning of every word was indeed conveyed.

I really don't know how much time this guy spent learning this sentence, but this effort made Nie Wei smile unconsciously.

Seeing Nie Wei's smile, Thomas knew that his efforts were not in vain, and the smile on his face became three points brighter. He had already made up his mind that he must work hard to learn Chinese in the future. Not to mention building a relationship with Nie Wei, even the huge market of China is worth his effort. After all, he is now responsible for developing overseas markets.

Thomas obviously didn't know how much benefit his decision at this time would bring to him in the future.

Thomas then introduced his family to Nie Wei. First, his wife, a lady named Liya, left the deepest impression on Nie Wei. She was so tall that she could even look at Nie Wei in high heels. Nie Wei estimated that her height should be between 1.78 and 1.8 meters.

Interestingly, Thomas did not inherit the height of white people. He was only less than 1.75 meters tall and a little fat. When he stood with his wife, he was full of humor.

Then Thomas also introduced his two children, the seven-year-old eldest son, named Andrew Thomas, and the five-year-old youngest son, named Aiden Thomas.

The two little guys look nothing alike. The eldest son is almost carved out of the same template as Thomas, while the youngest son looks more like his mother.

Seeing the two children, Nie Wei also took out the gifts he had prepared long ago.

"Brother Nie Wei gave you a gift. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?" Nie Wei handed two exquisite gift boxes to Thomas' two children. The children curiously opened the gift boxes and were soon attracted by the truth of the gifts inside.

Nie Wei gave the two children two sets of the latest Lego building toys. For the age of Thomas' two children, such gifts are obviously very much in line with their hearts.

"Mr. Nie, thank you very much for your gift." Thomas was very touched. He really didn't expect that Nie Wei would prepare gifts for her children, and chose gifts that were so in line with his children's hearts.

Thomas asked his wife to take the two children out to play first, and he took Nie Wei and Luo Kai to visit his small yard before leading Nie Wei and others into the house.

At this time, his wife had already put the prepared dinner on the table.

The dinner at Thomas's house was typical American food, including croissants, steaks, French fries, vegetable salads, seafood soup, etc. It can be seen that the host prepared it very carefully. The croissants were still warm, and the steaks were thoughtfully cut into small pieces. There were also dishes, tableware, etc., and even chopsticks were specially prepared for Nie Wei and Luo Kai.

Nie Wei looked at the newness of the chopsticks and obviously bought them for this meal.

Nie Wei and Luo Kai had a mediocre dinner, mainly because neither of them liked American food. Of course, after dinner, Nie Wei did not hesitate to praise Thomas' wife for her cooking skills, which made Thomas' wife Liya so happy that she smiled and got wrinkles at the end of her eyes.

Until Nie Wei and Luo Kai left Thomas's house, Liya kept praising Nie Wei, saying that he was very approachable, handsome, well-mannered, and even guessed whether Nie Wei was from an ancient noble family in the East.

While listening to his wife's constant praise of Nie Wei, Thomas sipped a cup of slightly cold black tea and happily watched his two sons trying to assemble the two sets of Lego toys that Nie Wei gave him.

Thomas felt happy because of Nie Wei's expression of closeness, but some people felt very bitter.

For example, Adolf is still in a state of confusion. The "Assassin's League", which barely ranked in the top ten on the first day, has made a big comeback, and it has not only turned over once, but also turned over a great distance like Sun Wukong's somersault cloud.

The box office data of 85.5 million US dollars in the first week not only made this movie firmly sit on the throne of the weekly box office champion, but also made him lose the bet.

When Adolf thought that he was about to kiss a donkey, he had the urge to jump off this 20-story building.

Hygiene and other things are secondary, the key is that it is too embarrassing.

"That bastard Albert must be laughing happily now." Adolf thought bitterly, it was that guy, if it wasn't for his coercion, how could he make such a bet?

Just as Adolf frowned and thought about how to solve this matter decently, his mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from his agent.

"Adolf, get ready. The TV station has contacted us." The agent's words almost made Adolf jump up from the sofa.
