Chapter 210 205 Annual Shark Festival

Chapter 206 Annual Shark Festival

"Blue Is the Warmest Color" has become a hit in a way that no one expected.

In the film industry, it is the most widely discussed and most profound film, comparable to "Lord of the Rings 3".

Even among art film fans, "Blue Is the Warmest Color" is more popular than "Lord of the Rings 3", and many people said they cried.

Many people, especially the gay community, shouted that this is the best film of the year, and it must have a place in the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars, otherwise it would be a loss for the awards ceremony.

Seeing that major channels such as NBC, ABC, and Fox are broadcasting similar news, Eric couldn't help laughing.

Such a big thing must not be ignored. If you don't ignore it, you have to mention some details, which means promoting the movie for free.

"Eric, Mary and I have more Facebook fans, and now it is close to 6 million. This feeling is simply great!"

Ashley happily patted Eric on the face.

"Hahaha, now I wake up laughing in my dreams every night. The decision to go to Boston was the right one."

"Eric, did you see that? A lot of people are shouting, asking for me and Ashley to win the Golden Globe or even the Oscar."

Mary said excitedly, but once she started talking, she couldn't help but take care of other things.

The warm environment disappeared, and she felt a little cool. Eric reached out and pressed her down again.

Woo woo hum!

"You're right. Now it seems that we did the right thing. With less than two million dollars, we got a publicity effect that twenty million or even two hundred million dollars couldn't get."

"Now the gay community and those who support the gay community are praising you two very much, which is very beneficial for winning the award."

Pop!

The stick popped out and hit Mary's chin. She looked at Eric with wide eyes.

"It's up to you now. After this, the box office of Blue Is the Warmest Color is estimated to exceed 100 million yuan, and MGM will make a lot of money. You have to continue to help us promote it."

"Hehe, the judges are also human beings, and they will also consider factors other than the movie, although it is a bit shameful to use political correctness to win awards."

"But we just happened to be in this situation, and we didn't deliberately take advantage of it. I will definitely help you get at least one of the Golden Globe and Oscar."

Ashley undressed with a giggle, and Mary ate and vomited more attentively. The three of them began a new round of daytime publicity.

Compared with the less than 500 theaters in the first week, the second week was too exaggerated.

Except for those states with too strong religious forces and too conservative states, theaters in other areas came to MGM to ask for the source key of the film.

As a result, the number of theaters showing the film in the second week increased by more than 600, and the scale of screening in more than 1,100 theaters also made Blue Is the Warmest Color break the record in film history.

It became the same-sex theme movie with the most theaters and the most states showing the film.

This is still early, and there are still a number of theaters that have not signed contracts in time, so they can only wait until the third week to release it.

At the end of December, the second week box office of "Blue Is the Warmest Color" was released, and it was as expected.

More than 1,100 cinemas received more than 35 million US dollars in box office, and the number of moviegoers increased greatly. It was undoubtedly a hit, firmly holding its position as the second place in the weekly box office.

The champion is naturally "Lord of the Rings 3", with a box office of 87 million US dollars, setting a new record for film and television, and winning the second week box office championship in film history.

Although not many people pay attention to such unpopular data in the second week, Middle-earth Knights showed extraordinary box office potential and resilience.

Under the influence of the wave of public opinion, "Transformers" also gained benefits. Some viewers who did not buy tickets for "Blue Is the Warmest Color" would choose to revisit "Transformers" again.

Coupled with the strong support of the same-sex community, the North American box office of "Transformers" reached 14 million US dollars this week, only a 17% drop, creating a small miracle.

The overseas box office has earned more than 26 million US dollars, and the global total box office has exceeded 900 million US dollars, officially surpassing "Finding Nemo".

It took more than one and a half months to finally achieve this brilliant achievement by leading by 19 million US dollars to win the North American annual box office champion.

According to this trend, it can be screened for about two more weeks.

However, the hope of breaking through 1 billion US dollars is relatively slim. Breaking 900 million US dollars has far exceeded Eric's expectations, and he is already satisfied.

After this achievement is achieved, at least MGM's stock price will be raised by 10% in the near future.

When "Blue Is the Warmest Color" is advancing by leaps and bounds, "Sharknado 2" and "Monster" have also been released.

The former is extremely sand sculpture, and the latter is extremely dark.

There is no doubt that after experiencing the destruction of "Sharknado 1", the audience not only did not hate this series, but were looking forward to its arrival.

Many iron fans have long been shouting on the Internet to break through the limit of IQ, and want to see what way the screenwriter can come up with to rub the audience's IQ on the ground this time.

Just like Blue Is the Warmest Color, no other sand sculpture movie has ever been released on such a large scale as Sharknado. In a sense, it is also a record-breaking movie.

The release of Sharknado 2 has become an annual sand sculpture carnival.

The media that did the interview last year did it again this year and started random shooting.

The beautiful female reporter from ABC walked on the street with a microphone: "This is the Constellation Theater. Last year, we witnessed the madness of the release of the first Sharknado here."

"I still remember that the young people at that time were crazy. Let's see if this year's "Sharknado 2" is still popular?"

The female reporter walked across the street to the cinema. Behind her, a group of young people suddenly rushed out, talking and laughing while walking quickly towards the cinema.

The female reporter didn't pay attention at first, but she felt familiar with the skin of these young people, white, black, yellow, and brown skin mixed together.

When she heard the familiar voice again, the scene last year suddenly came to her mind.

"Wait a minute, kids." The female reporter hurriedly greeted.

Hearing this, the group of middle school students stopped.

"Hello, kids, I'm a reporter from ABC Entertainment Channel. I'm glad to meet you. Are you willing to be interviewed?"

The eyes of a group of middle school students lit up, and then pointed at the female reporter and shouted excitedly.

"It's you! I remember your face. It was you who interviewed us last year. It was also Christmas. "Sharknado 1", right?"

The female reporter laughed immediately. There was nothing wrong with her memory. It was really these children.

"Haha, that's right. It was me last year. Did you become famous after the interview was broadcast?"

"Yeah!"

A group of middle school students cheered immediately.

"My mom told everyone that I was on TV. This is the first time she is proud of me."

"The girls in my class are willing to date me. Now we are a couple."

"What are you going to interview today? It won't be "Sharknado" again, right?"

The female reporter nodded: "Yes, I met old friends in the old place again. It seems that everything is arranged by God."

"No, it's arranged by "Sharknado"!"

Xiao Baizi said loudly, and then a group of young people began to cheer loudly.

"Sharknado!"

"Sharknado!"

"Sharknado!"

The cheering appearance immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

If it was last year, many people would look at them with strange eyes, but this year is different. Many people showed a clear expression, as if it should be so.

"Okay, okay, kids, stop for a minute. You all know that Sharknado 2 is bound to be another terrible movie. Why are you still going to the cinema?"

"Are you kidding? It's really great, but it's different from other movies."

"Everyone in our school is watching Sharknado now. If you don't watch it, you will be out of touch with the times."

"Yes, Sharknado is indeed a terrible movie, but it's terrible in style, terrible in a high level, terrible in a unique way, and terrible in a way that you have to look up to it."

The little yellow boy with glasses made a brilliant summary like a class bully, and his companions nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's almost time, the show is about to start!"

Others hurried to the cinema, and Xiao Heizi said to the camera as he did last year: "Mom, big sister, second sister, third sister, fourth brother, little brother, I love you!"

The female reporter nodded with emotion: "He still loves his family and family members like last year, what a good boy."

"That's not right, how come there seems to be another brother than last year, and why hasn't his father been mentioned yet?"

"Without a father, how can there be another little brother?"

In the cinema, Eric and Theron sat together.

Watching Ryan Reynolds hit the shark with a baseball bat and hit a home run, it was exactly the same as the first movie where he killed the shark with a pool cue.

Theron was already laughing from ear to ear, just like everyone else around him.

When their family fought sharks at the Empire State Building and 10,000 meters high, holding wires to draw lightning into their bodies, they were comparable to gods with mortal bodies.

Everyone felt that their brains could no longer think, because as long as they thought, they would crash.

Most moviegoers try to keep quiet, but the more noisy the scene is for Sharknado, the better.

"Hahahaha, I almost cried because of my laughter. How can Ryan Reynolds be so funny without changing his expression?"

"It is impossible to equate the character on the screen with the second male lead in Transformers. The separation is too strong."

"Good actors are versatile. When you watch The Hangover starring him, you will know that this guy can not only be handsome, but also play shit and fart with ease."

Theron wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Who are the screenwriter and director? Why do they have such a big imagination!"

"The director is the Wayans brothers, and I don't know the screenwriter. I don't know where Allen found the ninth-rate screenwriter."

"Hahaha, this is really a disaster movie? Honey, I'm sorry I haven't seen the first one, but how about we catch up tonight? "

"No problem, actually think about it from another angle. From a human perspective, "Sharknado" is indeed a disaster movie."

"But if you change to the shark's perspective, it's a "Final Destination", killing sharks in fancy ways."

"If you think about this kind of movie for a second, it means you don't trust the screenwriter and are irresponsible to the director."

"It's a great waste of your own frontal lobe and a great disrespect for the special effects level of the printing shop owner."

"Brother, what you said is great!"

In front, an old man turned his head and gave a thumbs up.

In the same cinema, the next door theater was showing "Monster" starring Charlize Theron.

In stark contrast to the joy of Sharknado, the audience here all looked solemn. Except for the occasional cough, no one made any noise.

Under the operation of MGM, the plot of "Monster" is darker than the original.

Infidelity, pedophilia, drug abuse, alcoholism, abuse, lesbianism, violence, robbery, homicide

The heroine Erin, played by Theron, was born with full-level debuffs, as if she had gathered the darkest elements in the world.

There was no minor in this theater, and it was rated NC17 because it was too dark and too dark.

The vast majority of viewers are unable to connect the tough, foul-mouthed woman with no eyebrows on the big screen to the sexy and glamorous Charlize Theron.

The contrast is much greater than the two Ryan Reynolds movies, at least the little bitch's face has not changed.

And it also involves the relationship between lesbians. "The Devil" is very lucky, just in time to catch up with the bonus period created by "Adele's Life".

There is now strong demand for this genre, with the film opening in more than 800 theaters in the first week.

If it is issued by a small company and cannot catch up with the special period, it will be very popular if there are 200 companies.

However, Eric doesn't have high expectations for the box office performance of "The Devil Wears Prada" because that's the same reason: it's too dark and gross.

Now is the period of celebration and joy among peer groups. What everyone wants to watch is true love, preferably comedy.

Although "Adele's Life" ends in tragedy, at least the process is sunny and refreshing, giving people a warm feeling.

"The Devil Wears Prada" is just the opposite. The title of the movie gives people a bad feeling.

Late at night, after watching the movie, Eric and Theron returned to their apartment.

After watching the first part of "Sharknado", the two lay on the bed and made out.

"Honey, do you think I can win an award for "The Devil Wears Prada"?"

"Why not? Your performance is excellent, but you gain weight and become ugly. Oscar likes actresses to act ugly."

"And judging from this year's situation, there are no outstanding female-perspective films so far."

"Commercial films are excluded first. Maybe Naomi Watts in "21 Grams" is good, and Diane Keaton's performance in "Love Is a Compromise" is also good."

"Although the film "Lost in Translation" is good, Scarlett Janssen's performance is obviously not up to the master level, and the threat is not strong."

"Generally speaking, the competition for Best Actress next year is far less intense than this year. My dear, you have a high chance of winning."

Theron bit him on the chest: "Are you pretending to be a fool? Why can you leave out "Adele's Life"? The Olsen sisters are very popular right now."

"Many people say that the two of them will definitely win the Best Actress crown. They are all directed by you."

"Jealous?" Eric raised her chin.

"No, that's your work, and the Olsen sisters are really good at it, I can see it."

"It's just hard to get such a good role again. I'm afraid this is the only chance. I won't even be qualified to be a finalist in the future."

Eric chuckled and hugged her tightly: "Baby, I will try my best to tilt my resources towards you. You are the one I love most. We will try our best to compete for the best actress."

"Do you keep your word?"

"It doesn't count."

"Hate!"
