Chapter 49 Sharks Are Flying (Please Read)

On December 15, there are only 10 days left until Christmas, and it is the time when the Christmas war is fierce.

Even though it has been released for a month, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is still playing its residual heat, and the daily box office is still rising by millions, which makes people have to marvel at the appeal of this IP.

In a few days, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" will be released, and on December 25, Christmas Day, Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can" will also be released.

Under the attack of these two monsters, other movies are bound to be in great trouble, so unless they have to, no movie wants to be released during this time period.

Just when movie fans throughout North America were looking forward to "The Lord of the Rings", hundreds of theaters in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Houston changed their billboards.

A brand new poster appeared, showing a tornado sweeping across the city. What is puzzling is that there are also several shark heads on the tornado. "Sharknado" was released quietly.

For a movie with an investment of only 1.5 million US dollars, it is impossible to promote it before its release. The publicity fee is more than this amount.

In the evening of Los Angeles, high school student White brought two buddies to a movie theater near his home. His sister worked here and could watch movies for free.

He walked to the front desk and knocked on the window; "Carol, give me three tickets."

A curly-haired girl came out from behind and complained with some dissatisfaction: "White, you come too diligently. I will be discovered if you continue like this."

"How is it possible? There are so many people coming in and out of the cinema every day. Don't worry, no one will find out, and there are only three tickets.

"No, there are not many people watching these days, and it is easy to be checked. I don't want to lose my job because of a few tickets. If you want to watch it, go to your mother for money!"

White immediately showed a bitter face and quietly pointed to the distance behind him: "Please sister, you don't want me to embarrass myself in front of my friends, I have boasted to them."

"At most, I will give you the pocket money after getting it. Hurry up, while there is no one now. ”

Carol still didn't want to: "But you've already seen all the recent movies, so let's wait until "Lord of the Rings 3" is released."

"No, don't fool me, I saw the new poster, the movie called "Sharknado", come on my dear sister."

"Carol, what are you doing?" A shout came from a distance.

"Nothing, Mr. Frosta."

"Okay, take the tickets and get out of here, my boss is coming to check!"

"Wait, there are also popcorn and Coke."

"Here you go, go, go!"

In the cinema, only eight or nine people were seated sporadically. It was a movie with no reputation, no publicity, and no big names. Only Ryan Reynolds was a little famous among young people.

This configuration can attract eight or nine people, which is not a small number. In other periods, there may be only two or three people.

"I have a hunch that this will be a disaster movie. White and his friends said.

As a shark logo flew over, the AK Film and Television logo appeared, and the movie officially began.

On the vast ocean, a fishing boat was sailing. The captain was discussing the business of hunting sharks with his partners. After a few minutes, the originally bright sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. One after another, sharks with extremely plastic feeling jumped out of the sea and destroyed the fishing boat.

Just the beginning made the audience frown.

"White, I have a bad feeling. Why is this boat so small? Two people dare to go to catch sharks? And that shark is too rough."

Then the scene switched to the beach, and the bikini beauties made the young and strong guys shine. The director knows a lot.

But then the shark tornado appeared and began to land on the beach. A shark suddenly rushed into the bar where the protagonists were hiding.

Then a blonde with big waves picked up a pool cue and stabbed the shark to death with one shot. The terrifying arm strength made the audience stunned instantly.

"What the hell!"

"Did you see that? She stabbed the shark to death!"

"You missed the point, it was the shark flying!"

The movie continued, the sharknado became more powerful and began to attack the city, and the amazing 50-cent special effects kept bombarding the audience's brain nerves.

The male protagonist and his men began to escape, the sea water poured down from the sky, and the car was running on the highway. At first glance, it was still the same, but a rubber strip suddenly appeared on the car window.

The audience immediately raised a puzzled voice: "Automatic car wash? Is this the rain effect?"

The sea water brought by the sharknado gradually flooded the city, but in fact, it didn't even cover the wheels, and even with such a shallow water level, there were still a large number of sharks swimming fast in it to attack pedestrians, and the extremely fake blood plasma made people unbearable to watch.

Gradually, even the sewers and drain pipes were spraying sharks out, yes, they were sprayed, and even small sharks flowed out of the faucet.

The movie was played to the end with this extremely outrageous plot and special effects.

When Ryan Reynolds raised the chainsaw and jumped more than ten meters high like Kamen Rider to cut the last shark in two, the movie finally came to an end.

What is an international bad movie!

At this moment, the few audience members collectively leaned back, took a deep breath, frowned, and narrowed their eyes to relieve their damaged nerves.

After a while, the sound of panting, breathing, sighing, and cursing filled the screening hall.

"My eyes! My eyes!"

"Why does this kind of movie appear on the big screen?"

"Please tell me who the director is, I want to kill him!"

"White, after watching this movie, I feel like I've eaten canned durian and herring, and there's a stinky sock that hasn't been washed for three months next to it."

But White's eyes lit up as if he had found a treasure: "I like it!"

"What! Are you crazy?"

"Of course not, I want to recommend this movie to Jennifer, Ben, Harvest, and everyone else. I can't be the only one who's blinded!"

The two friends thought it made sense: "I'm going to post it on the forum so that everyone can enjoy this bad movie together!"

On the first day of Sharknado's release, it only earned more than $1 million in box office, not even the ass of Harry Potter.

But at the same time, discussions about it appeared on the Internet.

Eric would definitely not spend a lot of money, but a few hundred thousand dollars doesn't matter, so Bemahadi has hired a large number of water troops in advance.

On the first day of the movie's release, I posted on forums with large daily activity, and also posted comments and recommendations on Yahoo, Movies, BOM, and IMDB.

In this era, using online water army to promote is still a rare method, and TV, magazines, and newspapers are the mainstream.

In the evening, Eric opened the largest forum in Los Angeles, and casually swiped around, and found three contents about "Sharknado" on one interface.

"The best movie of the year is born - "Sharknado"!"

"I have never seen such a movie, it shocked me more than "Harry Potter"!"

"Sharknado, a masterpiece that can be recorded in film history!"

Clicking on the content and scanning it, Eric couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a criticism for a while. He could only sigh that the water army in this era is also very trustworthy and does not copy and paste.
