Seeing that the twins were clearly dressed for morning exercise, Eric nodded and said, "That's right, let's go to the gym with me."
Eric was about to walk out after speaking, but the twins looked at each other without moving. Eric asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
A girl hesitated and said, "The boss doesn't allow us to accompany you... to exercise."
This time the boss should be referring to Drew. Eric was stunned for a moment before he realized that what the girl said was that Drew didn't allow them to "work out" with him. He can only be beaten on stage.
Of course, Eric didn't have a penchant for masochism, and said with a smile, "You want to hit me, but I don't want to. I mean, I want you to accompany me to run, play ball or something else."
The twins followed quietly.
Eric looked at the docile and harmless appearance of the two girls, and joked as he walked: "Drew is your boss, and I am the master of this manor, so you should call me master."
Although the twins' English hasn't improved much for so long, it's not that they can't even hear the concept of stealing in Eric's sentence. However, the twins didn't hesitate too much, and they said in unison: "Yes ,Owner."
Eric has always been a little puzzled about the mental state of the twins. Hearing the two girls call him master without hesitation, and the flat reaction of the two girls when Xiao Nizi casually said that they would be given to him as a birthday present last night, It was even more strange in my heart. After returning from morning exercise, while the twins were making breakfast, Eric asked this question to the little girl who had just woken up.
"It's very simple, because I bought them," the girl frothed from her toothbrush, said indistinctly, and winked at Eric in a funny way: "You can try PALY in the kitchen now." , they will definitely be obedient, and they are still virgins."
Eric leaned against the door of Yushi and glared at the girl, then asked, "What's the reason?"
Drew finished rinsing his mouth with a snort, washed his face and began to do facial care, and said: "They were originally sold to the United States. If I hadn't spent money to buy them from Sean King, they would now be Even if he didn't die in the underground boxing ring, he must have been maimed, and many people like to watch this kind of scene. And even if he survived, he would end up in some shady technical academy."
There has never been a lack of beautiful things in this world. Under money and power, they have become victims of some people's dark desires. With the improvement of his status, Eric has gradually been able to get in touch with these corners of the world that ordinary people can't see. Hearing what Drew said, he just shook his head slightly.
The girl rubbed her face and glanced at Eric's expression, and said, "So, not only did I save their lives, I gave them a life they couldn't have imagined before, and I also helped their family escape from Moscow, which is now even What reason do they have to refuse my request in a place where you can't even get enough to eat?"
"Oh..." Eric nodded with a dragging voice, and said, "Is that all?"
"Hehe," Xiao Nizi giggled, not minding her surly side temporarily in front of Eric, and said, "I just told them bluntly, if I am not satisfied, I will return them to Sean. .Kim is ready."
If they are returned, it means that the twins will suffer the bleak fate that the girl just said. Eric sighed softly in his heart. Walking over to hug the girl's soft waist, said: "You wouldn't do that, would you?"
Xiao Nizi twisted her body and turned around, groaning and wrapping around Eric, saying: "If you don't let me do this, I won't do it."
Eric patted the girl on the back and said, "It looks like I'm going to keep you little fairy under control, lest you let it out and harm the world."
Xiao Nizi put her chin on Eric's shoulder and said softly, "Eric, you are my world. I don't care about the others."
…
"Beverly Hills Cop 3"'s dismal box office of US$1.72 million on the first day was like a basin of cold water, which wiped out most of the "ambition" in the hearts of many people who wanted to jointly snipe fireflies.
The highly competitive Hollywood has never lacked a situation where the wall is overwhelmed and everyone pushes it. The subsequent one-sided negative reviews from the media pushed the box office of "Beverly Hills Cop 3" to an even more bleak US$1.5 million the next day. The $3.22 million two-day opening total was just a fraction of Paramount's original forecast of $12 million.
Even outside of Hollywood. Many people have also seen the obvious change in the situation. In the next few days, there were many good emails in Eric's mailbox. And on the day when the box office of "Beverly Hills Cop 3" was released on the first day, Firefly Group released the "Matrix" series plan and Eric's "Pretty Woman" tailor-made for Julia again. After "Runaway Bride", Firefly's long-term bond sales volume increased by 50% compared with before, and the total sales volume reached 200 million US dollars, as long as the situation does not change much. A bond distribution plan by Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank that was planned to be completed in three months may be completed in two months.
On May 27, Universal Pictures' "The Mummy" was released on a large scale in 3,100 theaters in North America, breaking the record of "Jurassic Park" with 3,000 premiere screens last year. record.
Because "Beverly Hills Cop 3" was completely swept into the corner, the box office of "The Mummy" achieved a small explosion on the first day, reaching 16.9 million US dollars, and the following "Beverly Hills Cop 3" 3" The single-day box office is only 4.5 million. "The Mummy" scored US$18.1 million and US$16.3 million respectively in the following two days. Although the box office results of more than US$51 million in the three days of the first weekend were higher than the expected box office data of the industry and Universal, the most exciting It's only inside the universe.
As long as there is no situation where two strong films attack "Saving Private Ryan", Firefly will not be under too much pressure. Even after "Jurassic Park" was released last year in a saturated manner, it was unable to withstand the super high reputation. The box office fell by 40% in the next week. "The Mummy" is expected to drop to the range of 40 million to 50 million in the next week after 75 million in the first week, and the highest weekly box office in North America has reached 170 million US dollars in the previous summer. High, the themes of the two films are completely different, "The Mummy" box office next week will not have much suppressive effect on "Saving Private Ryan".
When the matter was settled, Eric let go of his worries and began to focus on the production of the film in hand.
He now controls some of Hollywood's biggest hits.
Firefly's "Jurassic Park 2", "Independence Day", "Toy Story 2", "Face Changing", etc.
The "Mission Impossible" series, "Night at the Museum" series, and "Forrest Gump" from Huahua Pictures.
Firefly worked with Columbia on the last two films "James of the Brave" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith 2", and cooperated with DreamWorks on the "Charlie's Angels" series, "Resident Evil" and other films. Even MGM's upcoming "007's GoldenEye". Firefly also participated in part of the investment.
Although Fox's "Braveheart" has no interest in Firefly, it is certain that Eric will inevitably be pulled by Elizabeth for a free consultation.
The production progress of these films varies, and some have entered post-editing. Some are still in the stage of script revision. Eric only had time to check the progress of the special effects of "Jumanji", and discussed in detail the post-production work of the film with the director of "Mission Impossible" Brian De Palma. It's almost June 3rd.
After a huge premiere, "Saving Private Ryan" officially opened in 2,700 theaters in North America.
As a war film commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Normandy landings in World War II. For the first time, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other major European ticket warehouse countries have also launched a simultaneous release mode, and the number of countries with simultaneous releases in the world has reached 29.
The real and tragic scene of the Normandy landing, the value debate of eight people who saved one, the growth and struggle of little people in the war...
As soon as "Saving Private Ryan" was released, a lot of discussions about this movie appeared in the media.
Many box office analysis agencies have such a general conclusion that the final box office of a movie is usually directly proportional to the topic of the movie. When the media began to dig into Catherine Bigelow, a female director intentionally or unintentionally, the topic of "Saving Private Ryan" also reached a peak.
Firefly originally planned to use Catherine and Cameron's ex-husband and wife relationship for publicity. For this reason, the two-week interval between the release of Firefly's film was deliberately changed, and the release date of "True Lies" was placed one week after "Saving Private Ryan". .
But after the "Hollywood Reporter" published an article questioning whether Catherine could really shoot such a real war film as "Saving Private Ryan" like a man, as other media reposted and followed up the discussion , this topic quickly aroused the backlash of feminist groups in North America and even Europe. The plan could not keep up with the changes, and Firefly's original intention of "Saving Private Ryan" and "True Lies" to form a benign box office competition also failed.
However, this result did not affect the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" at all. On the contrary, because a large number of female audiences who were not interested in war films suddenly joined the ranks of support, the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" has been booming all the way. After earning 42 million box office in the first three days in the first weekend, this war movie won another 31 million US dollars with an unstoppable momentum in the four days of the working day. 25 million US dollars, according to statistics, most of which benefited from the sudden addition of female audience support.
When "True Lies" was released in the second week, the trend showed no sign of cooling down. Some feminists who seem to have suddenly noticed the relationship between Cameron and Catherine also openly published advertisements in newspapers at their own expense, advocating that female friends continue to support "Saving Private Ryan", trying to step on "True Lies" on the soles of their feet, and. These initiatives seem to be really working.
"True Lies" had a three-day box office of 37 million US dollars in the first weekend. Although "Saving Private Ryan" failed to overtake the box office, it was only less than 1 million US dollars behind "True Lies". It is really hard to determine who will win. While Eric and other high-level executives of Firefly were excited about the box office explosion of "Saving Private Ryan", they couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts: don't mess with women. If they can make a movie's box office 50% higher than expected, they can definitely make a movie's box office 50% lower. At the same time, Eric also secretly rejoiced that "True Lies" is a thoroughly masculine film. If it was a film aimed at female audiences, then this time the end would definitely be very miserable.
The first-week box office of "True Lies" was finally fixed at 51 million U.S. dollars, barely surpassing the more than 49 million U.S. dollars of "Saving Private Ryan" in the second week. Although it is not as good as "The Mummy" and "Saving Private Ryan" in the previous two weeks, it also meets Firefly's original expectations. The excellent box office performance of the two films has completely eliminated the voices that were pessimistic about Firefly’s summer performance. Even if the box office performance of “The Lion King” is not good, no one will jump out to question the strength of Firefly Group. In this case, Katzenberg, who returned to New York again, had much less resistance to reorganizing ABC.
After the Firefly Studios in Playa Vista was expanded again, the movie theaters became more noisy and bustling.
During busy working hours, most people rush around everywhere, seemingly indifferent to everything outside. However, when several buses slowly drove into the studio, they still attracted a lot of attention in an instant. When the five buses parked outside a huge studio that had just been built and had not yet been put into use in the studio, they even attracted onlookers. . After all, although we are used to seeing too many beauties in Hollywood, not many people have seen beauties talking about car outfits.
Seeing a group of tall and curvy girls coming out of the bus, many men onlookers couldn't help swallowing their saliva, but before these people had time to make a comment, they were approached by the tough security guard Shout out. In fact, when some staff members of the film studio were watching enviously, the models who got off the car looked longingly at the huge studio around them. Hollywood finds its place, so even if it doesn't make a big hit, it can find a good husband to marry.
What's more, if they can get acquainted with the big man who is about to appear this time, they will have an endlessly luxurious life for the rest of their lives. (To be continued.)
PS: In reality, "Beverly Hills Cop 3" did fail miserably, and the reason is unknown.
