American Fame and Fortune Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Winner takes all (please vote for me)

　　On Friday, just after get off work, Ted just packed up his desk, put on his bag and ran out.

The colleague who liked to drink Coke chased him: "Are you in such a hurry?"

Ted said: "I worked overtime last night and didn't go to the advance screening. If I don't go to see the wanted poster today, I will explode on the spot."

The colleague took out a bottle of Coke with Martin's image on it and handed it to Ted: “Let's go together.”

The elevator room was crowded with people. Ted looked at the time and said, "It's only the sixth floor. Let's take the stairs."

The two of them turned into the emergency passage. After going downstairs, they didn't have to go far. This was the business district of Manhattan, and there was a theater a few hundred meters away.

As soon as Ted entered the front hall, he found that there were very many people today, and there was a long queue of dozens of people at the ticket office.

Colleagues quickly pulled him to join them.

There was another long queue next to it, and several girls came at the same time. The one with brown hair asked: "What are we looking at?"

The blonde girl said: "Look at the handsome guy!" She pointed to the wanted poster: "A handsome guy and a beautiful girl, this is the one to choose!"

The shortest girl answered: "Wanted? I remember reading the reviews. They were all well received. Online newspapers said the film was very good."

A boy nearby said to him: "Yes! This film is very beautiful and has a very good reputation."

Although the girls didn't talk to each other, they decided to buy tickets for this movie.

What's more, there are also promotions.

For every video, a small bottle of CocCola will be given as a gift.

This also affects the choices of some people.

A large poster hung in the theater: "Look at the wanted poster, Martin Davis invites you to drink CocCola!"

After Ted bought the ticket, he took the free Coke and raised it towards the Martin poster.

Colleagues around me said: "I wish the world would have CocCola."

Meanwhile, Atlanta, an AMC theater in the Northville neighborhood.

Elena, Lily and Hall entered the screening room together.

They came a little late because they had to wait for Hall to finish his homework.

The theater attendance rate was relatively high, so I could only choose a seat at the back.

Hall opened the Coke and poured it into his stomach in one gulp. His eyes focused on the Coke in the hands of his sisters.

Elena threw a bottle to him: "If you don't want to become fat, drink less."

Lily did not speak, but concentrated on counting the heads.

Hearing the young lady mumbling, Hall asked: "What are you doing?"

"Don't bother me, you idiot!" Lily was almost interrupted. She used the fine tradition of the Carter family to threaten Hall with her fists and continued to count heads.

We counted a dozen more heads. As the film was about to be screened, dozens of people rumbled in from outside.

These people wore uniform red T-shirts and were obviously members of the CocCola Cult.

Lily's rhythm was disrupted and she simply stopped counting. She pursed her lips and said to herself, "I want to be a saint!"

Hall gloated: “I've lost count!”

Lily raised her fist and hit Hall on the head just like her sister did to her: "Idiot, shut your stinky mouth!"

Hall's face was full of sadness, but he had been suppressed since he was a child and could do nothing but shut up.

Elena said at this time: "No need to count, judging from the attendance rate of this theater, the box office will definitely not be bad."

“A big sale!” Lily clasped her hands together: “It must be a big sale!”

Elena took the bottle of Coke from Lily, opened it and took a sip. She was much calmer than Lily. This film will definitely be a hit.

On Friday, as a large number of audiences entered the theater to watch the movie and the number of people who scored the movie reached the required number, the IMDB score of Wanted was officially unblocked, with the average user score as high as 8.2 points.

As to how much of it is operational, even the outsourcing navy company cannot tell clearly.

˜Based on the ratings of CS theater audiences facing the first-tier market, Wanted Order's comprehensive evaluation is A!

This means that the film has a good commercial index.

Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks.

The sun had just risen on Saturday. Blake was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, pulling on a pair of flip-flops. He went outside to open the mailbox, picked up a pile of newspapers and walked back.

She flipped through the newspaper while walking and found the statistics page of "The Hollywood Reporter". When she saw the North American box office figures, she swung her long legs and walked quickly along the sidewalk next to the swimming pool towards the villa.

As soon as he entered the door, before he saw Martin, Blake shouted excitedly: "The wanted posters are selling like hotcakes! My dear, the wanted posters are selling like crazy!"

Martin walked from the kitchen into the dining room carrying a porcelain plate. The person cooking behind him was clearly Bruce.

After frying the eggs, Old Bu turned around and asked, "Did the box office exceed 20 million on the first day?"

Martin looked at Blake expectantly.

The latter nodded repeatedly and smiled as if he were a real eighteen-year-old: "$21.67 million! Yesterday's top box office hit!" "What good news!" Martin put down his plate and walked towards the wine cabinet: "We have to Have a drink and celebrate!”

Blake has long wanted to drink: "We must have a drink to celebrate!"

Martin poured three glasses of champagne, waited for Bruce to take off his apron and came over, and said: "Guys, cheers to our success!"

Black leaned over and kissed Martin first, and then clinked glasses with Martin: "My dear, congratulations!"

She clinked glasses with Lao Bu again, and the three of them drank together.

After drinking the wine, Blake became a little excited. He put down his glass and newspaper, jumped directly on Martin, and asked for a kiss.

Bruce was dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, be civilized and principled, don't feed people dog food during breakfast."

Martin carried Blake to the seat and said, "Let's eat. After that, we'll go out and hang out together."

This weekend, his promotional mission is to take Blake to various places with dense crowds in Los Angeles.

Blake's new film has also been officially approved and needs a lot of exposure.

After breakfast, the two got into the Escalade driven by Bruce and went straight to Rodeo Drive to go shopping.

There was no need for Bruce to make a special call, and a group of paparazzi followed him automatically.

Martin was used to it and didn't care at all.

Blake seems to be born to live in the spotlight. The more paparazzi reporters, the more excited she becomes, frequently showing off the love between her female fans and her male idols.

At the corner of the street, female paparazzi Jody couldn't help but spit after taking a photo of Blake feeding Martin ice cream mouth-to-mouth.

“Those who don't know how to restrain themselves will definitely die once the love period is over!” Today she was fed to the point where she felt like vomiting: “Which star who hypes up love and marriage can end it safely?”

Another paparazzi nearby couldn't bear it and said: "How sweet it is now, but how bitter it will be when they fall out in the future. I wish them all the best to change from lovers to enemies!"

Several paparazzi echoed: "I wish you the best too!"

“Let's bless them together!”

Across the road, Martin seemed to have noticed something. He turned around and waved warmly and friendly to the paparazzi. Then he turned around and kissed Blake. There was another passionate entanglement.

The wanted poster is selling like hot cakes, and he is holding a young and beautiful girl. How can he be worthy of the paparazzi and entertainment reporters if he doesn't show it off?

This is a winner-take-all game of fame and fortune!

The paparazzi secretly cursed the couple, but they faithfully raised their cameras to take pictures of the handsome couple.

Martin's cell phone rang at this time, and it was Sophia who answered the call.

Female King Kong's words were particularly direct: “Have we succeeded again?”

Martin said: “There is no way the first week in North America will be less than $50 million!”

Sofia laughed: “It's a new record! In this way, I want to celebrate.”

Martin asked: "How are you going to celebrate?"

Sophia said: "That old man Nicholson is nice. Do me a favor and ask him out. I'll treat him to a drink."

Martin could roughly guess what she wanted to do. Considering the safety of people's lives, he reminded: "The old man is almost seventy years old, and people will die!"

He didn't give Sophia a chance to make another request: “I have something to do here temporarily, let's talk about it another day.”

In the hotel, Sofia heard a busy tone on the phone receiver, but she wasn't angry at all.

She is in a good mood today because the investment posters are selling like hotcakes!

After working hard for so many years, Sophia has seen very clearly that nothing is more real than money.

Scott walked over with his legs crossed and asked: "Isn't that old man coming?"

"For Martin's sake, let him go." Sofia stopped thinking about these things and dialed the number in Atlanta: "Vincent, it's me. Have you seen the latest box office statistics? Martin's film is once again a big hit Selling, what do you think?”

Vincent didn't think about it at all and said directly: "Of course we will continue to invest. Does he have any new film projects?"

Sophia said: "It should be. I asked him the day before yesterday. It seems to be a thriller, suspense and action type, similar to this wanted poster."

Vincent added: "It turns out that Martin is trustworthy and worthy of investment. You can make the decision there."

“Well, continue to invest in the new movie project starring Martin.” Sophia hung up the phone, her mood became better and better, and she especially wanted to exercise.

She walked towards the fitness room attached to the suite and looked back at Scott: "Come here."

Scott followed obediently, and he was used to what was going to happen next.

In addition to having to endure it, Sophia has all the food, clothing, housing and transportation covered, and he also has no less than five figures of pocket money every month. How can someone as old as him and without any skills find such a job?

More than a year ago, Scott chose to lie down, and it was extremely comfortable. He could occasionally buy gifts for his children.

Compared to his missing wife Emma, who ran away with who knows who, Scott considers himself a fairly qualified father.

Soon, the man's cry came from the fitness room. It was not painful, but filled with pleasure.

On Friday, the R-rated rating of "Wanted" could not stop the enthusiasm of North American audiences. The film surpassed "Jarhead" directed by Sam Mendes and won the North American box office title of the day with 21.67 million US dollars.

On Saturday, the rest day, the film's attendance rate increased slightly, and it collected another 24.21 million U.S. dollars in North America!

ˆJarhead and Chicken Little, which were released at the same time, were both tightly pressed by wanted posters, making it impossible to overtake them.

Although the box office of all released movies will decline on Sunday, Wanted is still leading the way, and finally won the first North American box office title in November with a box office of 68.55 million US dollars!
