The next day is Sunday, September 28th.
The disruptive release of the iPad-10, with its bombarding news coverage, keeps pace with the equally popular "The Haunted Man". It is no exaggeration to say that the two major hot spots contributed by the Westeros system have basically dominated the market. captured the attention of the North American public, and its overseas influence also spread rapidly.
Not to mention the iPad-10, there are still two weeks until the official release, but "The Ghost Story" once again created a box office breakthrough on the second day of its release.
In fact, since the media reported that "Ghost Chronicles" had a rare daytime queue, the results have been predictable.
Tinkerber's special promotion of "Ghost Chronicles" at the autumn new product launch not only increased the sales of its own iRec, but also added another bundle of firewood to the hot "Ghost Chronicles".
Finally, on September 27, the second day after its release, "The Ghost Story" grossed another US$15.98 million in a single day with a screening scale of 2,045 screens in North America.
When many people see this number at first glance, their first reaction is doubt.
Are you sure this is a single day and not a week
However, this is indeed the case. In one day, "The Ghost Story" collected another US$15.98 million. Compared with Friday, the single-day box office increase reached an astonishing 68%.
You know, in the North American movie market, there are three days on weekends. Saturday is usually the highest, followed by Friday. Sunday, which is about to enter the working day, is the lowest. The box office curve shows a parabolic trend. However, under normal circumstances, the box office increase on Saturday compared to Friday is often only 10% to 20%.
As for "Ghost Chronicles", compared with Friday's first-day box office, Saturday's box office surged by 68%, which can only be described as unreasonable.
Affected by "The Ghost Story", "Doomsday Alert", which was released at the same time, earned US$3.05 million on its first day. On Saturday, when the box office was supposed to rise, the single-day figure dropped to a low of US$2.39 million.
DreamWorks released this mediocre film at the end of September, originally wanting to avoid competition. As a result, as the box office plummeted the next day, it was obvious that this blockbuster, which cost 50 million US dollars, did not even have the initial 40 million US dollars. It is difficult to meet expectations. Failure at home will also be affected overseas, and losses are a foregone conclusion.
With the release of the single-day box office results on Saturday, the original local box office expectations of US$150 million for "The Ghost Story" were obviously invalidated. For a while, the industry media did not even dare to predict the local box office of "The Ghost Story".
200000000
Or even higher
This is too scary. It’s just an ultra-low-cost small film with a public budget of 300,000 US dollars, but it actually cost tens of thousands of US dollars at most!
Long Island.
Simon's position today was changed to the city of Glen Cove, west of Sandpoint City. The two places were only separated by a narrow bay extending from north to south, and the distance was less than five kilometers.
The same seaside estate covers an area of 25 acres.
It’s just that the main villa is no longer the unobvious white modern building in Sand Point, but a typical American country-style three-story villa with white walls and blue roof.
Compared with the Yingying Yanyan over there at Shadian, there are only 6 girls here today.
If you don't count Mo Wuling who came with Zhu Momo.
Mo Wuling was very angry today.
I couldn't help but follow him, and when I saw my niece curled up in a man's arms like a kitten and basking in the sun by the swimming pool, I became even more angry, so I wandered around the villa alone, wandering around in the maze-like villa, and finally wandered Go to the third floor and enter a living room, where through the glass window you can see the large swimming pool surrounded by lush fences on the west side of the villa.
And those people over there at the pool.
So he became even more angry.
Momo, how can you be so depraved
And someone, how many women does it take to be satisfied
This bad world.
Poolside.
Zhu Momo, who was huddled in a man's arms in a swimsuit and playing with a black iPad-10, accidentally glanced towards the villa, looked back, and said to the man next to her doubtfully: "I feel like someone is peeking at us over there."
Simon also glanced over casually, but found nothing of course: "She must be the waitress."
"It's not like that," Zhu Momo chuckled: "If my sixth sense is right, I have a lot of resentment."
"That's haunting. Why don't we stay up tonight and catch ghosts together to see if our ghosts in the West are any different from yours?"
Zhu Momo suddenly became obsessed with winning: "It's definitely not as scary as China."
"You can come out during the day, isn't it scary?"
"Well… "
Zhu Momo frowned, unable to refute for a moment, so she turned her attention to the built-in mini-game on the tablet in front of her. Tinco Bayer designed a simple racing game independently. Of course, it did not have the advanced operation of the later gyroscope and required the use of a touch screen pen. Make contact. Zhu Momo, who was pursuing speed, quickly crashed after clicking the acceleration button next to him.
"Come again, come again."
Simon looked at it with a smile. He wasn't too interested in the tablet computer in front of him that looked like an antique compared to what he remembered. After all, it didn't have a color screen, Internet, or photography. There were even fewer applications, and you still needed to use a touch screen to operate it. A dedicated touch screen pen is something I’m not used to.
However, for people of this era, it is avant-garde enough.
Then again, even though it is a leap forward compared to the last generation of NewtonPad, Tinker Bayer can actually do better. At the Mountain View Laboratory, prototypes with color screen, network and camera functions have been released. However, if it is done in one step, there will be no room for replacement and upgrade in the future, and the long-term interests of Tinker Bayer will be damaged.
All in all, squeezing out toothpaste is the way to go.
When Zhu Momo started to indulge in small games, the sound of splashing water came from the swimming pool. The three girls left the swimming pool one after another, briefly dried their bodies with bath towels, and walked towards Simon together.
These are the three Chinese girls signed by Elite this year.
Shen Gui, 19 years old, 181 centimeters tall, has the word "boudoir" in her name, but she doesn't look like a lady. Instead, she has crisp, ear-length hair. Fortunately, her almond eyes and standard oval face make her a little more charming.
Simon is not interested in androgynous beauties.
Jiang Mi, 22 years old, has a cute name, but she is 187 centimeters tall, 1 centimeter taller than Simon. This has exceeded the industry's default height for female models. The reason why Elite signed her was mainly because she fit Simon. Her aesthetics include a perfect oval face, thin lips, and a pair of phoenix eyes. She has a special feminine heroic spirit that makes people easily desire to conquer.
If she wasn't too tall, this girl would be suitable to be trained into an action actress.
The last girl has a weird name that people can remember once they hear it.
not drunk.
Qin Buzui, 18 years old, 179 centimeters tall, is the shortest of the three girls this time. Of course, she is just relative. She has a petite face, big eyes, and natural smiling lips, like a cat.
The three women came to the recliner of the same style as that in the manor in Sand Point City with a little restraint. Seeing that Zhu Momo had no intention of moving at all, they could only gather together on the other side of Simon.
Qin Buzui, who seemed the most harmless, unknowingly grabbed the position closest to Simon and curled up sideways on the recliner. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his upper body was slightly raised, causing the other two girls to lift up even more. He had to move further to see Simon.
Qin Buzui didn't dare to be as intimate as Zhu Momo, but he touched the man next to him intentionally or unintentionally, and found a topic: "Simon, it's so nice here, like a paradise."
Simon was not restrained, so he put his arm around the slender waist of the girl next to him, felt the smoothness and softness of his palm, rubbed it gently, and asked: "Who gave you this name?"
Qin Bului was hugged by the man, and his body only stiffened slightly. He quickly leaned over obediently, and carefully put his head on the man's shoulder. He raised his face and said, "Grandma got it."
"Um?"
Qin Buzui explained: "When I was very young, my mother was always drunk, and my grandparents couldn't control it, so my grandma gave me the name Buzui, hoping that I wouldn't be like my mother when I grow up."
Simon smiled: "It sounds like it should be a long story."
"Yes," Qin Buzui was about to continue, when he looked at the man's expression, whether for confirmation or to whet his appetite: "Simon, do you want to listen?"
But Simon gave an answer that disappointed the girl: "I won't listen, I prefer to spend the full moon."
When Qin Buzui heard this, he didn't show any disappointment at all. He even opened his mouth slightly to show surprise: "Simon, you are already so good at Chinese. I didn't expect you to know the idiom "flowers are good and the moon is full."
Zhu Momo, who seemed to be concentrating on playing with his iPad, snorted slightly to show his disdain for someone's ignorance.
My man even knows when the moon is full and the flowers are full, let alone when the flowers are full and the moon is full.
Seeing Zhu Momo's appearance, Qin Buzui showed a slightly aggrieved look, and looked at Simon with a pitiful expression of "Did I say something wrong?"
Simon still smiled, and his big hand holding the girl slid down again, teasingly: "Let me touch it and see how many tails you have?"
"No, not really."
Being exposed by the man in such an understatement, Qin Buzui's eyes flashed for a moment. Of course she recognized the idea of nine-tailed fox, and her eyes showed some confusion.
But her body remained obediently still, allowing the man to explore.
It was clearly stated when they signed the contract that from the end of the Elite Model Contest in July to now, more than two months of waiting, if they cannot satisfy this man today, the future of the three of them is uncertain.
Qin Buzui couldn't control Shen Gui and Jiang Mi. She had made up her mind to gain the approval of the men around her and settle in the United States no matter what.
Even further in the future.
In order to achieve this goal, Qin Buzui initially took the initiative to work with Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei, who had already made their way in the United States, and worked as followers dutifully. However, when he discovered that these two seniors were far smarter than he thought, he obviously had no intention of doing so. After giving her some help, although she is not stupid enough to fall out, she is no longer so attentive.
During the recent fashion week, Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei, and Zhu Momo, who returned to the United States, could walk in various big-name shows, and then go to Europe. The three of them were just a year late, but they could only start from various Running in a small field makes people feel even more complicated.
until today.
At first they were vaguely told that they were asked to accompany a certain big shot, but they never expected that it would be a big shot like Simon Westeros.
Therefore, we also fully understand why Jian Xin and the other two have been able to thrive so well in the Western fashion circle, which is very exclusive to people of color, after only coming to the United States for one year. The backstage is simply huge.
Catch it no matter what.
However, I didn’t know how to catch it for a while.
Qin Buzui felt that for a big man like Simon Westeros, his body alone was definitely not enough.
While talking, Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei also left the swimming pool one after another and gathered on the other side of Zhu Momo. They didn't look unfamiliar with Zhu Momo at all, and they even grabbed the iPad with Zhu Momo.
The three girls were so relaxed, and the three Qin Buzui girls on the other side were obviously a little envious.
And expectations.
It can be roughly judged from these details that since the three of Jian Xin are so bold around men, it should be shown that Simon Westeros is a very easy to talk to.
Zhu Momo successfully defended the iPad because she had the upper hand. In order to prevent the two women next to her from grabbing it again, she stopped playing the game and turned to Simon. She handed the stylus to the man: "Simon, you come and write." OK?"
Simon let go of Qin Buzui next to him, took the pen, and asked, "What to write?"
I wish Momo was suddenly in trouble.
A scumbag is the least able to deal with this kind of thing.
So he looked to the side.
Seeing this, Jian Xin deliberately pressed on Zhu Momo and leaned toward Simon, suggesting: "Write a poem. I remember Simon's Chinese characters are very beautiful."
Writing is not considered entertainment on weekdays.
However, I just got this new toy that can write on the touch screen, so of course I am very interested.
"OK."
Simon smiled and agreed, because this machine does not support Chinese for the time being, so he could only click on a blank drawing document and raise his pen.
Standard beautiful regular script.
* In order to win Zhou Lang's attention, the king will not go to court early from now on.
“…”
The three girls didn't react for a while.
This is
Simon smiled and continued.
*I sleep in spring without realizing the dawn, and from now on the king will not come to court early in the morning.
“…”
Still continue.
*I took off my shirt with the general, and from now on the king will not come to court early.
*I got married to a golden son-in-law for no reason. From then on, the king never went to court early.
* Lightly gather it, slowly twist it, wipe it and then pick it up again. From now on, the king will not go to court early.
Staring at the last sentence, Jian Xin finally reacted first. First she pursed her lips, and finally raised her hand to cover her mouth, huffing, humming, humming. Finally, even the scumbag classmate Zhu Momo also understood that the three girls Soon he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, gently twirl, slowly twist, apply and then pick again, haha, Simon, you are really, wow..."
"I will take off my shirt with the general. This, Simon, is a genius."
Simon allowed the girls to laugh for a while before explaining: "This is actually a song called "Self-Hanging on the Southeast Branch". I took the time to compose it for you to sing."
Zhu Momo calmed down a little and asked curiously: "What, Southeast Branch?"
Tao Yuelei, who has the highest education among the three girls, rushed over and pressed down Zhu Momo with Jian Xin, saying: "It's the one in "The Peacock Flies Southeast". Well, when the government officials heard about this, they knew they would never leave, and wandered under the tree in the courtyard. , hanging from the southeast branch. That’s probably the sentence.”
Zhu Momo praised exaggeratedly: "Wow, Yuelei, you are so amazing, you know such unpopular poems."
Tao Yuelei rolled her eyes: "It doesn't sound like a compliment at all."
Jian Xin said: "Actually, Simon is the most powerful. In the few paragraphs just now, I just know that spring sleeps but I don't wake up."
Zhu Momo raised her little hand: "From now on, the king will not come to court earlier. I know this. It refers to Yang Guifei. It seems to be called, um, called..."
Tao Yuelei kindly reminded: "Bai Juyi's "Pipa"."
Zhu Momo caught it immediately: "Yes, "Pipa Xing" by Bai Juyi."
Simon simply couldn't see it.
On the other side, the three women who were watching this joyful scene with envy finally got a chance to interject. Qin Buzui carefully reminded: "Sister Momo, from now on the king will not come to court early. It seems that it is not "Pipa Xing" but "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"."
“…”
"Haha, "Pipa Xing", from now on the king will not come to court early, haha."
"Tao Yuelei, you did it on purpose, wow, look at my Nine Yin White Bone Claws."
So there was chaos again.
While they were having fun like this, Girl A came over to remind him that there was an important call, and Simon got up from the entanglement of the girls. Seeing the man leave, the weather beside the swimming pool seemed to change in June. The cheerful atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared, and the six girls were clearly divided into two groups.
Although.
Zhu Momo actually didn't want to fight with the other two. They had abandoned him before, but now was not the time to fight alone, they had to share the same hatred.
