Hollywood Domination Chapter 341: 70 million on the first day?
70 million on the first day!
The box office exceeded 100 million in two days, and 140 million in the first weekend. The 13 countries that opened simultaneously overseas also contributed nearly 50 million in stamina. The global box office has exceeded 200 million in three days of release...
Amidst the tepid decline of "Nine", it is difficult to say whether the rest of the Big Six have the same idea as Warner, but they certainly will not be so mentally retarded that they will immediately lose their money because of a setback. The villain and the big dream turned against each other—maybe, they are all waiting for the final result of "Avatar", and even Fox is thinking about the same thing: currently, all the projects in cooperation with major companies have been launched, except for no Except for Sony, which caught up with the last train, the five projects are all big productions with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and except for "shero", they are all led by big companies, instead of putting the money in the hands of the big dream, which is tantamount to talking about the big dream There are already more than 500 million invested money outside. After all, it is a new company that has not been around for a long time. It is impossible to have a strong cash pool. Dameng still needs to shoot three films of his own. Right now, it should be the one with the most cash. period. If "Avatar" hits the street, Dameng's investment of more than 100 million yuan will definitely be lost. God knows when Fox will delay the settlement-at this time, the contract will not matter, and Fox will definitely try to pass on the losses to the big players. Dream, it is even hard to say whether the big companies will form a tacit understanding, stop the project with many excuses, keep the hundreds of millions of Dreams in their hands, and even encourage Dreams to fight lawsuits with them, take the initiative to file lawsuits, etc. , using these methods to bring down a company with many copyrights.
——Of course, no one has started to contact peers and unify opinions. The behavior of a lunatic, if Gray of Paramount had not generously contributed to his reputation at that time, it is very likely that several companies would have been impatient now, and they would never have such a gentle sit-and-watch and wait attitude.
When everyone was waiting with bated breath for "Avatar" and the market reaction of this masterpiece, at the end of November, the two new films released by Dameng unexpectedly gained a sense of presence— ——On November 20th, "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Twilight" were released at the same time. Playing also means the inconvenience of manpower planning. This is what the distribution company tried to avoid, but Dameng doesn't seem to care about this. After the double film at the end of last year, this time it was exactly the same. The two films were selected. Filed on the same day.
"Slumdog Millionaire" does not have superstar blessings, and it is also following the small-scale opening route common in award-winning films. However, thanks to its reputation and reputation accumulated overseas, this time the opening is not too small. Ten theaters, but on the stage with a scale of 1,020 theaters. Of course, it did not have the luxurious first day of "Nine". The good word-of-mouth and the growing popularity of the topic also allow it to take the road of long-term screenings. After the Oscar nominations, there should be a new increase. Although it is not as good as "Nine" at first glance, "Nine" is in the After barely passing 100 million domestically, it is on the verge of downsizing, with only a small number of screenings left to survive, and the good days of "Millionaire" are still to come.
Speaking of which, with the opening of overseas films one after another, the global box office of "Nine" has easily reached the threshold of 150 million, and the distance from 200 million is not so far away. According to the usual calculation rules, this It means that the Weinstein Company is unlikely to lose money, and it is very likely to make a small profit. It is still hard to say whether "Millionaire" can reach 200 million yuan. However, for everyone, "Millionaire" The performance of "Rich Man" is a surprise, but the performance of "Nine" is called a hit. It must be said that after years of ravages by Jennifer, Hollywood has indeed set another set of standards for her...
As for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", its performance can be said to be "listening to the thunder in the silent place". When everyone ignored it, it gave everyone a big surprise: In the past, its midnight show reservation basically guaranteed a box office of 20 million, but no one thought that it would double the number of the previous one on the first day, and directly rushed to the figure of 70 million. Out of control, broke 100 million in 3 days, twice as fast as the previous work. The overseas box office has also risen sharply, almost doubling the pace of the previous film.
According to this trend, the global box office will double. This film, which cost only 50 million yuan, will eventually have a box office of over 600 million, or even go towards 700 million...
The box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has entered the 1 billion club, but its cost is 250 million, and the advertising cost is several times that of "Twilight". If only the movie box office is counted, there is no doubt , the profitability of "Twilight" should be the highest among all films this year, and it is also the second-lowest production cost of all the top ten works scheduled for the year. Although the production cost is only 35 million, the global box office is fixed at 400 million 6, domestically took 200 million 7 "The Hangover" lost too much at the overseas box office, and the earnings should not be as chic as "Twilight". Still, their profits are enough to make "Harry Potter" and "Ice Age" jealous.
Of course, the top 10 movies at the box office are to some extent strong against the sky, with their own unique tricks, such as "Transformers", which only relies on car dealers to make money It's full of money, not to mention that it was originally a large-scale commercial of Hasbro, and the sales of toys driven by it are all profits, and how profitable are the peripheral sales of "Harry Potter"? Other people's theme parks are about to open, so it doesn't matter how much money they make? The year of 2009 was originally a year of strong people like clouds. "Ice Age", "Star Trek", and "Up" were all selected for a while, and "The Weakness" released by Warner on the same day also received rave reviews. It seems that It means a bumper harvest of box office awards, but no matter what, the return on investment ratio of comedies and ya movies is still enviable, and ya movies have more obvious advantages than comedy movies in this regard - overseas is strong, overseas is really strong , it seems that "Twilight" should be more popular overseas than in China. Like "Transformers", its overseas popularity has exploded after the popularity of the first film, and overseas audiences are generally more popular than "Transformers". American audiences are more affectionate and less picky. As long as the quality of the film does not drop too significantly, the overseas box office of the series will be guaranteed. When everyone’s North American box office cannot widen the gap, how about a new profit point? Make people not envious and jealous?
Looks like, maybe "Nine" was really just a temporary miss, no, or Jennifer just wanted to repay Rob for his kindness, instead of watching this movie, otherwise, with her style, how could she not bring capital? Join the group...
As the box office of "Twilight" gradually increased, an undercurrent in the industry seemed to subside gradually, and the operation of the project became smoother and smoother. Jennifer, who returned to New Zealand, became the focus of attention again. Especially Fox, before the schedule of "Avatar" is approaching, they are more and more frightened and they finally breathed a sigh of relief: Of course, Fox is aware of the impact of "Nine" audience's word-of-mouth on "Avatar", but before Half a year of publicity has been done, how can I change it now? I can only bite the bullet and continue, and I don’t even know how to explain the point of ‘the whole film is CGI, without real Jennifer’. For the sake of publicity, Fox has never said this before, should I explain it in advance? ? It may have an irreversible impact on the box office, but if you don't say it, "Avatar" will probably be the same as "Nine", and it will be criticized by ordinary audiences...
The time has entered December, and the awards season has also entered a fever pitch. The crew of "Millionaire" has been running around non-stop in many commercial activities, and started its own ticket-seeking activities. Give it a try, the male lead Daniel is not coming out, the female lead Marion and the director Rob are also not free, major businesses have started to promote Christmas, and the bombing marketing of "Avatar" has also entered the final stage, subways, buses, Shopping malls... wherever you go, you can see that iconic image: an alien is flying and running among the clouds, and when he turns his perspective, he sees a beautiful mountain floating in the air...
"Have you got a ticket for the premiere?"
"No, but it's just an extra two weeks. Besides, the premiere this time is in London, and the premiere in Los Angeles will only be held five days in advance. There's no need to drive six hours for this, right?"
"You don't seem to be interested in this movie? Did Jennifer's wedding really hit you that hard?"
"It's not so much her wedding that hit me hard, it's better to say that she and Cesare started to separate after they got married..."
Such a familiar conversation, of course, comes from Charles and Jon, a good star-chasing partner. The two who are currently living in San Francisco have long become friends in reality-after all, they are engaged in IT, Charles and Harry They also get along very well. After moving to Silicon Valley, Charles, who has been immersed in starting a business, would ask the two out for a drink from time to time, and the gossip between Jennifer Jefferson and her is of course an important topic of their chat.
"It gives the impression that you just can't accept that after they get married, they have to work on their own careers-in essence, you still hope that Jennifer, like other girls, will settle down once they get married, preferably in two years. Have a baby within this year," Jon shrugged, "gender bias."
"If you don't start a family, why do you want to get married?" Charles asked back, he shook his head, blocking Jon's rebuttal, "ok, ok, I reserve my opinion, but it's not because of this. Going to London or Los Angeles - we've seen Jennifer a lot, and there's not much interaction at the premiere, and if the only thing you can see in the movie is a cgi dummy moving around, then It’s not that cost-effective for me, is it? You spend so much time and money, but you don’t see much of Jennifer.”
Although he is still an important member of the forum, once he left the previous industry where he lived and waited to die, and started to start a business, Charles, like Harry, has undergone significant changes, and he will be more realistic when making arrangements. Cherish your time more. It can be said that his fascination with Jennifer is also fading, but at a slower rate, but it still makes Jon feel a sense of loneliness. At this moment, she feels a little alienated between herself and Charles, as if by He left it behind: she is still studying, so she still has plenty of time and passion to think about chasing stars.
"Okay, then we will still watch the midnight show, right?" Without anyone to accompany her, she also gave up her plan to go to Los Angeles to watch the domestic premiere. Basically, without Charles' help, she would not be able to get tickets , and Jon didn't want to beg him to get a ticket for himself - if Charles was going by himself, it would be very convenient to get one for her, but it would be a bit selfish to ask now that he was working overtime frequently. Tickets for the premiere were not easy to get, and most of Charles had to contact the Arab prince, and the other party must have suffered a great blow after the wedding, which also made it difficult for Charles to speak up.
"By the way, will Saeed go to London this time?" She asked curiously, "Are you still in touch?"
"He's my boss now - without his venture capital, how can my small company get going?" Charles grinned and said, "Of course we kept in touch, he seemed to be there at the time." London — he's there for a while every year, but I don't think he's going to the premiere, of course, that's my guess, I wouldn't dare ask him, not that fond of killing himself."
"What are you talking about?" Harry walked over while taking off his backpack. He put the backpack on the chair and glanced at the wine glasses of Charles and Jon. "I'm buying this round. What do I want to drink?"
"We're talking about the big boss behind Charles," Jon shared as Harry walked to the table with three glasses of wine, "he probably won't go to the premiere, although he can get tickets , and this is a shameful waste of resources.”
"Oh, just mixing in—no, the old Arab who was invited to that wedding party in May?" said Harry a little bit meanly. "I remember he got quite a hit at the party, didn't he?" ?So he's out of his crush on Jennifer now?"
"We guessed it." Charles corrected, seeing Harry raised his eyebrows, he explained, "He specially brought a super beautiful model female partner over - and sent me a message beforehand. If he got his wish, or, according to what I know about him, got Jennifer's favor, he would definitely like it I showed it off, but he didn't mention it at all, and he was pretty mean when he met me, so—yeah, we figured he must have been smacked at the party."
"Ha," Harry sneered, and exchanged a satisfied expression with Charles. Obviously, the two boys are very satisfied with their favorite actress's joke about the rich second generation, "if he If he wants to find that kind of brainless money girl, then he is looking for the wrong person. Although the Abu Dhabi consortium is rich, his personal wealth may not be more than Jennifer. "
"Oh, you also saw that report?" Jon said expertly, "It's the "Time" article? Gee, I thought the cover of "Vanity Fair" was the pinnacle of this year, but I didn't expect Fox to be the best , even "Times"."
If we talk about this year's publicity, then 2009 must be the heyday of Jennifer. As a newlywed, she is very topical from the beginning to the end of the year. There are 3 magazines with her on the cover alone. "Vanity Fair" in September, "Vogue" in September, and "Time" in December, these are all the golden covers of major magazines, especially the cover of "Time", which is the super cover that all walks of life in the United States are competing for. For the big cover, ordinary stars are not qualified at all. Jennifer has been featured three times by herself. ——However, at the same time, she also seldom appears in magazines. While her influence is greater, she fully implements the principle of movie stars avoiding the world. For those with clear publicity goals, "Vanity Fair" is for "Shero", "Vogue" is for "Nine", and "Time" in December is of course for "Avatar".
In this report, Jennifer's main identity is not an actor, but a film investor, so "Time" magazine made a valuation of her net worth: she owns 20% of the shares of Big Dream, just This piece of property is about 1 billion US dollars, and with the hit of "Twilight Saga 2", it will continue to rise. In addition, there are many years of film remuneration and dividends. After 8 years in the industry, her property valuation is A dazzling $1.5 billion valuation, even in Hollywood, is enough to put her in the ranks of the 0.1%, and this 0.1% does not just refer to actors, but producers, company executives, investment The result of all calculations including people.
Of course, this also means that the initial valuation of Big Dream is about US$5 billion, which is close to the US$7.4 billion when Disney bought Pixar. Dream's released movies, excluding "Twilight Saga 2" and the series in development at the time of writing, if these are included, by this time next year, the valuation will double. It is possible. More importantly, this company has no debt, a clear equity structure, abundant cash reserves, and an extremely promising future. This also makes it hailed by "Time" as the company that investors are most looking forward to listing. It's really hard to say how much Jennifer's 20% shares have skyrocketed. Maybe she will become another rich man after Michael Jackson, and it is very possible.
"Although you said that there is a lot of bragging involved, but considering the excellent copyrights in Dameng's hands, this valuation is really not high, and it can even be said to be a bit low." Harry drank He took a sip of beer and said to Jon, "So I really don't know why you are so nervous about the box office of "Avatar", just read the reports, even if "Avatar" didn't make a dime at the box office, she would still be at the top of the list in Los Angeles." taxpayer and millionaire, she is still the winner standing at the pinnacle of the legend - I don't see why you need to worry about her, this girl is only two years older than us, she had at least a billion two years ago , and the balance in our card can add up to more than 10,000 yuan?"
Jon and Charles looked at each other, and Charles laughed dryly, "Speaking of which, I can also understand Jon's feelings, you rarely go to the forum, Harry, and now people are arguing about what to do Shouldn't go to the premiere, everyone is worried that she doesn't show her face in it, because until now, she has not appeared in real life in the trailer, if she is just like a voice, for many people they go to the movie would be much less motivated—and this is on Jennifer's own forum."
"I don't know what you are hesitating about," Harry threw a peanut into his mouth and shook his head, "Of course I will go to the midnight show, after "Nine", if you don't Midnight show, you are a lunatic, Jennifer's picky eyes can't be trusted, with her face, without her face? Who cares, she took a fancy to "Avatar", "Avatar" must be a good film movies, and I'm not paranoid enough to not enjoy a good movie."
Jon and Charles are of course the type who would go to the midnight show, and they just smiled when they heard the words, Jon spread his hands, "But the problem now is that many people don't think so, and the public's opinion You have no power to control—"
Seeing Harry's expression, she gave up explaining, but shook her head and said, "Forget it, I can't explain it to you men."
"Gender bias." Charles said in a deep voice, throwing back Jon's criticism just now.
The three little friends laughed and clinked glasses tacitly. Jon comforted himself, "Actually, it's okay to fail - Jennifer is a strong girl, she can bear it." Failed."
"Oh, what a strong girl, who always wears shoes worth more than a thousand dollars, and the girl who wears toryburch once is the news." Harry sneered habitually, Charles snorted and choked, and quickly wiped his hands behind his back Wipe your mouth.
"Hey, like you said yourself - when she was 19, she had nothing, now she has a billion dollars," Jon raised his eyebrows at Harry, "She's only two years older than us, She is already making a film by herself. This year, she and her husband have been separated for half a year for work—both of them are trapeze people—two years ago, her workload was even greater than this. You said she was not strong, but she could do it. Can you do what you get? Not just acting, beauty, those negotiations, meetings - can you do it?"
Both Harry and Charles, and even Jon himself fell silent, thinking about this forced topic. After a while, Harry sighed.
"You say that, how can I stay in the bar?" He stood up, picked up his backpack, "Let's go, go back to the company to work overtime."
"Me too..." Charles also showed shame.
"My thesis..." Although he was still a student, Jon also felt on pins and needles.
"So, if there are no accidents, see you at midnight on the day of the screening?"
"See you at midnight."
"See you at midnight."
At the door of the bar, the three little friends bid farewell to each other, and went home inspired by their idols. In every corner of the world, there are almost thousands of similar conversations-obviously, they are not the only ones. A person whose mood was agitated by the news that "Avatar" was about to be released.
"Hiroshi-kun, the night before Christmas - the night of the 22nd, can you come here? Nanako will leave work early that day, can I invite you to watch a midnight movie together?" In Ginza, Tokyo, the charming companion The wine girl shyly offered the invitation.
"Oh? Nanako seldom goes to the midnight show, does she?" Her old client's expression was flustered, obviously thinking wrong. And Nanako gave him a blank look and accentuated her tone.
"It's "Avatar", Hiroshi-kun, a-va-da," she pointed to the small TV above the bar, which was showing the trailer of "Avatar", but on a smaller screen, The picture is not very attractive, "Nanako has seen the trailer many times, and this is played by my favorite Jennifer-san - plus, I also want to experience the Christmas atmosphere with Hiroshi-kun - "
Japan's film market has always been relatively closed, and it is not surprising that imported films have been delayed for a year or so. This time, under Fox's strong public relations, "Avatar" was only released a week later on December 23.
"The last organization registration, the Beijing area has reserved a venue to watch "Avatar". " Baby Zhen rubbed her eyes and pressed the send button. "Go to the corresponding QQ group to ask about the private events in Shanghai and Wuhan."
"Please bring."
"Shuangjing ume is a bit far away, but I want to watch it with everyone."
"Hurry up and make a decision, especially for imax. Tickets are not easy to buy. The student party has carefully considered it. 120 tickets, if you can afford it, you can accept it. If you can't afford it, you can watch ordinary 3D."
Because of Weinstein's shortcomings in distribution capabilities, "Nine" was not released simultaneously globally, and there was almost no publicity in East Asia. Of course, fans would not feel cheated or hurt-they didn't even have a movie See, everyone is looking forward to Jennifer's new work with enthusiasm, and even the post bar has begun to organize private movie viewing activities. This is also evidence that Jennifer has more and more fans, more and more loyal, and has formed a group. In the past, even if someone wanted to organize a movie viewing, in a city, the absolute number of people with a convenient time and place was too small, and it was impossible to book a movie.
"Mom, look, the blue man—" In Paris, France, the sky is still bright, and the five-year-old boy pointed to the trailer on the TV and jumped up happily, "There are still flying The mountain! Mom, can the mountain fly? Can it?"
"I don't know," shrugged his mother, watching Jennifer Jefferson's name flash across the screen with indifference - she is not a movie sensitive person at all, and generally does not go to the cinema This habit, at most, is watching some serials and old movies occasionally, "Pierrot, get off the sofa, if you behave well——"
Looking at the broadcast time, she calculated in her heart, "New Year's Day, I will take you to watch this movie during the New Year's Day holiday..."
"Amanda," several middle-aged women in a small town in the southern United States are also talking about this movie, "Are you interested in watching "Avatar"? If so, I can trouble you to drive Paul and Are you going downtown together? Our car is in for repairs, and I can't take Paul there, and he needs a chaperone."
"Maybe I won't go the week it's released," Amanda frowned thinking of the viewing experience of "Nine", but she didn't say it dead, "but maybe the kids will clamor for the first week, if that If so, I will take Paul..."
"Absolutely don't watch it." Anna, who has always been an avid fan of Jennifer and even skipped class to watch "Nine", tapped on the keyboard angrily, "I won't let her lie to me again, they need Know that such deceptive advertising comes at a price."
"You can go and see, but can the special effects really be done well? It won't be as unnatural as "Beowulf", right?"
"Cameron's movie is definitely going to be seen. So far, he has not let me down."
"Jennifer Jefferson's look on the poster is really... kind of ugly, but you'll want to stare at it forever, won't you? This movie looks like it's going to be interesting, and I'm going to see it Look - if cg is counted, this should be her ugliest role."
Look, don't watch, wait and watch again, everyone has their own attitude towards this extravagant propaganda movie, no matter which powerful statistical company it is, it can't make an effective summary, in short, to So far, the topic of "Avatar" has come up, but the reservation for the midnight show is far less amazing than "Twilight Saga 2". Of course, this is the first part of the series, and there is no original work. Not strong enough, so watching the midnight show is not very accurate...
In the calm before the storm, on December 11th, the crew of "Avatar" held its world premiere in London. "Variety Show", "Empire" jo, these media from the United States sent columnists, special film critics and film and television reporters, while the "Times" and "Sun" in the UK, "Le Figaro" in Paris... more than 200 A reporter packed the red carpet of the premiere to the brim, and the premiere viewing hall was an imax hall that could accommodate more than 300 people——"Avatar" signed a cooperation agreement with imax, in order to promote the film, as well as its For the outstanding visual effects on the imax screen, imax has also spared no effort.
"I heard that there will be a press conference after the movie is over." Instead of walking the red carpet, he entered the venue directly through the side door. It didn't take long for "Variety" columnist Derek Ellie to find his own organization— —Although I didn’t see those old faces in the United States this time, he is not short of acquaintances from the United Kingdom. In addition, “Variety Show” also sent one of his colleagues Todd McCarthy over this time. Two colleagues stood together and chatted, "Fox really takes this movie seriously, doesn't it?"
"This is a James Cameron movie after all." Derek said after returning home for vacation - he came here today with a personal relationship, and the ticket in "Variety Show" was given to McCarthy, and this person is An avid supporter of feature films, he has always sneered at special effects. Derek believes that this is one of the reasons why "Variety" chose him-apparently, "Variety" is a little tired of Derek's preference for Jennifer for several years. Hear some different voices, and even deliberately want to promote some opposing voices.
Sure enough, Todd just smiled contemptuously at Derek's statement - he never liked Cameron, and thought he was just a mechanic like Michael Bay, "If it's just Cameron , I don't come to London because of him, what attracted me was Jennifer's performance in the special effects film - I hope she can surprise me. Although "Nine" is a good movie, her role in it is a little bit It's boring."
"You know, Todd, considering your tastes are always very niche, you hate "Avatar" so much, it makes me more confident in its box office..."
Who's hating on Avatar? Said was attracted by the few words that came into his ears. He turned his head and looked at the crowd: several old men gathered together, chatting and laughing, and couldn't tell who said the sentence just now, and received his glance. However, a few people looked at him curiously. Obviously, a young Arab man was conspicuous enough in this hall to easily arouse people's curiosity.
As long as he thinks that Jennifer Jefferson and her husband may walk into the hall at any time, Saeed will feel uncomfortable. In addition, the whole hall smells like a movie critic, which makes people unable to stay for a long time. He simply walked into the movie theater quickly, found a random place in a remote corner of the back row, lowered his body as much as possible, and settled down in a somewhat inconspicuous way—smelling the smell of the decoration materials in the movie theater, he wrinkled Mei sighed, almost wanting to get up and leave, but she still hesitated to stay.
It's just a movie, when can't I watch it? In Syed's heart, there seemed to be a voice saying: Do you have to watch it at the premiere? Does it have to be at the premiere where she's coming too?
For a prince born with a golden spoon in his mouth like Saeed, 'whatever you want' is not an exaggerated term. Jennifer Jefferson was his first failure with the opposite sex. If not catching a cold can stimulate his desire to conquer even more at the beginning, then as time goes by, this frustration will gradually transform into another form--a terrible embarrassment. If he can be honest with himself, Said will admit that he even has some low self-esteem in front of Jennifer, especially after reading the report of "Time" and can no longer deny Jennifer's wealth and power, no matter how stupid he is I also know that Jennifer's indifference to his pursuit is purely because she doesn't like him at all. For her, he is a bit too incompetent.
If it was an ordinary girl—even a relatively ordinary girl who dared to look down on him, Said would definitely be furious. There is still some water) to slap her in the face, or simply to make some achievements and prove herself in front of the girl. However, Jennifer is so good, and her achievements in various fields are so dazzling, even Sai Yi De has always been very confident in himself, and he couldn't help admitting with difficulty after a huge sense of loss: Just like you can't compare with Bill Gats to the computer system, and Jobs to the mp3 player and mobile phone, you just can't compare with Jennifer is better than movies, and it is true that he has not achieved the same achievements as Jennifer in his own financial field. She looks down on him... It is indeed normal. The husband she chose, Cesare Vigeri, although he was once I used five million to buy a surrender, but his achievements in the workplace are much more impressive than him. At least, he is not working in a family business, and his promotion speed in CAA is also legendary.
Because of this, even though he got the invitation letter, he was still hesitant about whether to attend the premiere. I like James Cameron, it would be nice to have a few words with him, but Saeed really doesn't want to see Jennifer now, let alone see her joking with her husband, it feels like it's in his wound Sprinkle salt in the world and remind him how bad he is.
To come, or not to come?
In the end, the fan side won, and he came anyway, but staring at the blank screen, Saeed had no idea whether he was expecting a good movie or a bad one—he should have hoped to see it. Good movie so he doesn't come in vain, but he wants to see a bad movie, so at least Jennifer won't be such a legend, at least she will be proven that she will fail, at least this way , Said still has the possibility of catching up with her, at least he can allow himself to have such a daydream...
In his wild thoughts, the guests had gradually filled the hall, the lights went dark, and with the sound of the projector running on the screen, the 10 characters that looked like old-fashioned movie special effects appeared in the center of the screen, and Said He also took a deep breath and put all distracting thoughts behind him.
"Here we come." He murmured, pulling himself together again, "Come on! Let me see, are you a mortal or a legend—"
